Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 28, 2016 - Truffle Cheese Night (Extra Space): Tasted blind. Slow-ox in bottle. Drank over 3 hours.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose medium intensity, slight barnyard, earth, tea leaves, red cherries, black cherries. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (13.5%), fine high tannins, full body. Initially quite tight, but opened up with more air. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet red cherries, black cherries, earth, tar, spice. Long finish.
Very good quality Chianti Classico. Drink now with decant, or give this another 2+ years to drink excellently right smack in the drinking window.
Well done, and this is not even a Riserva or Gran Selezione. Thumbs up.
