Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 10, 2018 - Not a brilliant wine by any means, but this was a really decent half-bottle to have over lunch. The nose was classic Chianti, with strawberries, dried earth and brush herbs. The palate was better with food than without, rounding out into gobs of fresh strawberries and red cherries seasoned with more herb and spice - all very high-toned, with bright tomato acidity. A touch rustic on the tannins and bright acid, but this made it really food friendly. Still needs a bit more time in the bottle I think, but this was a simple but pleasant Chianti. Definitely a good wine, but exactly what you would want in a Chianti Classico at this level.
