Community Tasting Note

Nicely balanced on the palate - finish is a little short, but acidity here is also adequate. You don't get the same sour cherry notes that I mentioned in the Montenidoli. My recollection was that 2009 was a pretty hot/ripe year in Chianti - while this is still well-made and drinkable, it doesn't seem to possess the "stuffing" that Castell usually has in a good year.
