  Too lean and acidic.

  Lesser vintage, little hopes so a very good basic Chianti. Supposed a wine for meat, so great with grilled turbot. At this point, this bottle showed a mature tuscan colour, very clean with watery edges. On the nose, surprisingly a prevailing roasted duck aroma (a defect, if not very heady indeed!!!) Decent on the palate but with a remarkable acidity. I would like to taste the reserve range of this delightful wine.
  
  Una añada menor, pocas esperanzas asi que un muy buen Chianti básico. Supuestamente un vino para carne, así que grande con un rodaballo a la plancha. En este punto, esta botella mostró un color toscano maduro, con bordes acuosos. En nariz, sorprendentemente prevalecen aromas a pato laqueado (un defecto, de lo contrario ¡¡¡embriagador sin duda!!!). Decente en boca pero con una remarcada acidez. Me gustaría probar el reserva de este delicioso vino.

  This was a standard Chianti good for its price point. Nothing too complex on the nose and the typical sour cherry palate. Went well with dinner but was over shadowed by a 2005 Queciabella we opened right after we finished this one.

  Suprisingly light and simple ... leather, red fruits, plum and cedar. Not very complex ... just average.
