Community Tasting Note

Thursday, May 6, 2021 - Popped & poured, and at first blush, the nose reminds me more of Bordeaux than Chianti. There's something similar to that sandalwood/cedar element that I often get in Bordeaux - not exactly the same, but close.

The 2008 and 2009 vintages are both, in retrospect, weak in the overall Chianti vintage hierarchy, and this is one of the lesser Rancia wines from that decade. To be sure, pleasant enough, but it doesn't really resonate "Chianti" to me - this comes across more like a Tuscan IGT.
