Still drinking very nicely. Did not take notes at time of consumption, but was spot on for our expectations of a Chianti. Enjoyed with grilled pizza margherita.

I had this as part of a vertical tasting with vintages 2004-2008. I think the 2004 was past it's peak. Aromas were tight and uninteresting. Of the bunch, this one was mellow and the 2008 was straight cherry koolaid. My personal favorite was the 2006, it went excellent with the lasagna, it had a lot of tomato tastes. The 2007 was blah and the 2005 had the most old world style.

An alright bottle for $15 bones. It is a little fruity for a Sangiovese and more New World than i care for, but for an every day drinker not too bad. With that said there are other Chiantis in that price range i would rather have.
