  The color is ruby red with a hint of orange at the rim. Nice black fruit on the nose. It is thin on the palate with light to light-medium body. This wines smells better than it tastes. The finish is medium long.
  
  Edit: I kept half of the bottle under vacuum in the fridge for 5 days. It turns out that the wine is better at day 5 than day 1. Thinking back, I should have decanted the wine for an hour or two on day 1. I've revised the score upward from 88 to 89 points.

  A classic but largely unremarkable chianti. Bass notes that are beginning to develop add a little more than the average level of interest.

  Clear garnet. Tomato, black fruit nose. Thin, tannic, some incipient complexity present. Nice finish. Needs more time.

  Not much to say here. Dull nose shrill flavours not much depth.
  
  Disappointing.
