Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 21, 2022 - The nose here is pretty and interesting, the fruit dominantly red cherry but accented by diverse savory qualities like sage, prosciutto, and a hint of clove, expanding admirably after even a short time in the glass. But the gripping tannins are a reminder of its youth and, while this can be drunk with food now, prevent it from being consumed on its own with pleasure. Then again, was that ever the point of Chianti Classico?
