Floral aroma with blackberries, spiciness. There are hints of blackberry and dark cherries although not as fruity as some chiantis. Medium finish. Very smooth, with a nice amount of acidity to give a certain freshness. Overrall a solid Chianti Classico. Excellent spaghetti wine - pairs very well with food, as intended.

Direkt nach dem Öffnen ein dies unangenehmes Stinkerl. Nach 1h Dekantieren wesentlich angenehmer nach Kirsche mit sauren Noten. Am Gaumen intensiv saure Kirschfrucht mit einem bitteren, erdigen Unterton. Hat sich am nächsten Tag positiv entwickelt, deswegen aufgewertet. 50+5+9+14+5=83

Nice young Chianti with a deep violet color and scents of flowers and dried fruit. Dry on the palate paired very well with dinner. Outshines other mid-priced Chianti's we have had recently. The 2005 vintage is special for us because we spent a week in Tuscany that year hiking thru the vineyards so it brings us back to that special moment in wine country.

Sweet cherry with some herbs. Simple with a little short palate. Went OK with a selection of homemade pizzas but.....
