In the nose there are some nice autumntones with dark fruit, some animal tones and forest. the wine is rather high in acids, but enough fruit to balandce that. soft tannins. nothing spectatcular, just a fine glaas of Chianti (3140 views) | | | Tasted by jrufusj on 9/10/2005: Easy on the Pocket Night (At home with Richard and Naoko): Tuscan-tone red just starting to take on orangey-red hints at the rim. Nose on this one is open from the beginning, with tobacco, dark cherry, bracken, and earth. Grows in volume more than complexity as wine sits in glass. Tobacco fades and bracken and earth pick up, as does a little mocha spice. Palate is taut with a light but sturdy structure of smooth tannins and good balancing acidity. Sour cherry and nicely tart plum dominate the fruit, along with the earth from the nose and just a hint of chocolate. A nice picture of balance and restraint. Like a small wiry fighter with endurance showing on the finish. Earthy elements made it pair very well with an assorted mushroom risotto made using a little wine and the liquid from reconstituting dried morels. Perfectly ready to go, but will probably hold for a good long while as well. (4092 views) | | | Tasted by Double-A on 8/7/2001: Pretty, rosewater, dried cherries & currants, mature red apple nose. Medium-full bodied; good replays with fresh acid and med-firm tannins; good length. (333 views) |
