Mute bouquet of faded dried red cherries, dirt, leather, hint of tobacco and spice. Similar on the palate, medium-full body, nice tannic grip. Food friendly. Improved slightly with air.

This wine was stood upright for two days and decanted for an hour before serving. Was excellent and maintained good quality for twenty four more hours.

New Year's Day party at the Ballington's house on 1/1/2016. Color: Garnet red. Nose/Smell: Dark chocolate and raisins. Palate/Taste: A little dry in the finish. Moderate tannins (5/10) with moderate body. Moderate finish that is starting to thin out. Opinion: Dryer and not as acidic as expected.

Schöner Chianti, typisch und füllig, feine Frucht und keine Alterungsspuren.
