Needs time to breath/open up. It’s tight & disjointed upon opening. Once allowed to breath the flavor integrate & make for a pleasant drinking experience. Heavy black pepper & slight vegetal flavors permeate the wine accompanied by cherry, plumb and oak. This definitely has room for improvement over the next couple of years.

Good not great. Hits on key characteristics of a good Chianti. Should improve with a couple more years of cellaring. Hopefully that will bring out more of the fruit that is on the nose to the pallet. This would raise the score to an 89-90.
