Really enjoyable and value for money. Some tannins so could use a year or 3 in the cellar for my taste but would probably be great for many others. Found the tannins slightly up-front with some baked tomatoes, dark berries and maybe some plum as well as herbs. Beautiful stuff!

For a non riserva, young Chianti, this drank very nicely at a restaurant after 20 minutes in the decanter. The style of the producer has always been towards a rounder, cherry - laden and mellifous feel, and this 2012 did not disappoint. While lacking in some of the finer textured flavors and scents, this bottle was full of mist, dark earth, cherry, old leather and a nice hint of tar.

Strange somewhat sour note persisted for first few hours. Is that bret? Fairly oaky, dark fruits. A surprisingly heavy Chianti classico.

Big. Full bodied. Nicely balanced. Cherries, Oak and spice.
