  Lovely red fruits, licorice, spice and some ferrous-meaty savory notes on the nose. Mid weighted with good balance with a cool mix of supple fruit and florals with a little rustic edge and bite to it. It's not a hugely complicated wine, but it is an honest really well made Chianti that's drinking well right now. Quite long on the back end. A terrific bargain to boot. Excellent with ragu pasta. Drink now or hold. 89

  Sour cherries, a hint of tobacco, fully developed, some supporting acidity keeps it fresh.

  This bats way above average and is fantastic value for money. Floral and herbal notes give way to musky, mushroomy flavours, all balanced by a lick of acidity and tannin. Better than Chiantis I've had at twice the price.

  Superb aromas of red cherry, red plum, liquorice and leather to name but a few enticers.
  
  In a brilliant sweet spot right now. Enjoy!

  More delicate than expected. Herbaceous, well-resolved acidity. Very crisp
