Without food this was just ok but with food (had fried shrimp) it was very good particularly with price. For me most chianti are always better with food. Score based on with food

PnD let air for 2hrs. Dark ruby garnet clear orange to clear rim. Bing cherry macerated cherry and cola on the nose. Medium weight with smooth black tea and cherry skin tannins. Bright fresh Bing and sour cherry spicy rasberry touch of cola and a bit of earth on the palate. Lively great with pizza and better than the WS rating but way over priced at $30. This should be an under $20 wine.

Second time, same experience: nothing special here. A bit overripe. Not a disaster at $13 but otherwise a pass.

Average wine. Nothing special, but drinkable.

Didn’t do much for me... not sure exactly why, but it just offered little of interest. Fine but not a rebuy.

I think this is a little better than previous reviews, a touch more fruit is all it needs. A year or two more will not hurt it.
