Subtle and earthy fruits greet the nose, with a muscular oaky finish that manages to not overpower the other aromas. Mildly fruity on the forward tongue, with a very strong old-school style tannic finish. A very classic style Chianti sure to make your "super-Tuscan" disdaining grandfather nod in approval.

Intriguing nose, hard to decipher for me, a little damp earth, molasses and cherries. Cassis, cherries, dirt and cola on the palate. Finish is dry, a little hot with cinnamon and bitter chocolate. Not a great QpR for me.

Good with pasta, would be nice as a "have a glass of wine" wine. Otherwise inoffensive.

Mid-bodied, dry, a touch austere, with cherries, black raspberries, sweet cedar, and earthy elements throughout. Pleasant.

Deep purple. Nose of Jam, Clove, and Soy Sauce. Woody (bark?) and Bell Pepper. Medium body, medium finish.

Opened for 1 hour. Enjoyed this Tuscan Wine. Hints of plum and black cherry, mild tannins, medium finish. Would purchase again.

Burgundy in color, with a nice, pleasant nose of plums and currants. Long legs Lots of fruit up front, but the finish is short.

A little more rustic compared to the lush 2007 version, but this is a really nice Chianti. More Chianti-like than it's predecessor, frankly.
