  - Crimsom color - Took about 3 hours to become velvety and somewhat complex. Delicious.

  My first thoughts are that this is very lively for a nearly 30 year old Chianti Classico. Pours a deep crimson with almost no hint of bricking. Huge sweet and sour cherry on the palate, with some iron that initially blows off and then comes back later . Clearly there's great structure here with vibrant, bracing acidity and dusty tannins still present. Juicy. Some secondary tobacco, herbal, spicy notes. Mid palate is a little light. Medium finish. Keep coming back for the beautiful cherries here.
