PnP. Cherry, dirt, slight savory herbal aromas and some volatile blow off. Wait about 5 minutes before sampling. Drink with dinner of pasta with mushroom, meat, red sauce with basil and a kale salad with gruyere and pumpkin seeds. A bit hot on the palate with some licorice and perhaps menthol. A bit of wet rock mid-palate with a nicely mixed acid-tannin finish. Color is quite purple to the edge. Feels a little high in alcohol. Fairly fruity followed by warmth and the other flavors and a touch of a bit of harsh bitterness.

Awesome wine, with gentle acidity to boot!

Can't say I enjoyed this one at all. Very rustic and with none of the red-fruited charm I look for in Chianti.

A bit of vanilla oak. Dark baked fruit. A touch floral or menthol; leather, spice.
