Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - Decanted for two hours. Initial 'funk' on the nose blew off with air time. Dark ruby red, crystal clear in the glass. Nice slow legs. Aromas of cherries, earth, banana peel, bacon fat, smoke, raspberry, and coffee. Very fresh. Medium-full bodied with peppery and cherry notes. Spice and black fruits too. A hint of herbaceousness that was not unpleasant at all and a 30+ second finish. Overall, a delicious Chianti Classico, and one of the better ones I've had in a while.
