Community Tasting Notes 10

  October 22, 2020 - This chianti was very light weight, which I presume is why some tasters were quite negative. And 2014 was not a good vintage in chianti. But it is varietally correct, and has decent balance. Drank this with lighter fare (cod fish and some pesto pasta) and it was a solid accompaniment to the food. No not too bad.

  March 31, 2017 - S: bubble gum, dried fruit, and old cedar
  T: sour cherry and pomegranate up front, toasty and drying on the mid, puckering tannis on the finish
  A bit one dimensional but not bad.

  December 17, 2016 - It's difficult to point at anything obviously wrong with this wine. It is well balanced with adequate red fruit, adequate acidity, agreeable texture and some structure but it is bland and dull and, at c.€13, over-priced.

  November 21, 2016 - The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis) and forest floor. The body is light/medium. The wine has bright texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
