A very even, attractive garnet red. Rather odd nose - a bit synthetic with quite a lot of vanilla, some alcohol, and just a bit of cherry fruit buried in there. Ok on the attack: soft, with fair fruit. Rather bitter on the finish. Really extremely unexceptional. A very poor wine, that you'd be hard pressed to guess was Chianti. Dreadful.

Nice even, fairly rich ruby red, without any particular signs of youth. Round nose; a bit lacking in fruit, with some tannins and a bit of alcohol evident. Quite a warming, comforting nose. Decent attack - a bit lacking in fruit. Hardly any development in the mouth. This is just a very anonymous, innocuous Chianti. Very unremarkable. OK/Good.
