Community Tasting Note

LambertsCellar Likes this wine:

Saturday, October 11, 2014 - Very nice Chianti, with sour cherry, menthol, licorice and perfume on the nose, with medium body, balanced/acidic fruity palate and medium/long finish. Key with this wine is to manage the sediment; there is a ton of it. I have had a few bottles and there is a big difference between the cloudy VDS (as noted below) where the sediment is integrated into the wine vs. the clear, pure VDS with no sediment. Bottle needs to stand for at least 6-8 hours. Then, decant majority of bottle carefully through a filter and, then, filter the remainder into a separate vessel/glass to protected the lion's share from the sediment. If you can avoid the sediment, it is a very nice bottle of Chianti.
