Much better than my last bottle. Significant bottle variation — plus I decanted this. A pretty decent mature Chianti. Good color, high acid, clean flavors.

Decent red berry and earth nose, but there's not too much else that's attractive here. Short on fruit flavors, and still quite hard and acidic. thinnish mouthfeel, short finish. My 14 year-old budding amateur said accurately, "It's got no flavor." The best that can be said is that this wine is true to the less pleasing historical qualities of Chianti.

Very good QPR for a Chianti Classico Reserva. Nice, classic taste, medium tannins, medium to high acid, great with tomato based pasta.

Very smooth. Would rate high if there was more structure.
