Lots of sweet fruit on the nose, in a really great place right now. Just starting to hint at dusty tobacco. Cherry throughout the mid and then finishes on its acids. That is in a really dynamic place right now. Opened about an hour ago.

Black cherry on the nose and palate. Dark purple, tart acidity throughout. No noticeable tannins, so ready to drink now. Great accompaniment to food. Medium finish.

Chianti (Waterford Wine Co., Milwaukee): minimal amount of new French oak, 5-10%, I am told. alcohol level is up .5% over the estate. high toned dark cherry. lightly showing some oak zest on the nose a la cinnamon. ben suggests a touch raisin, buy i'm finding it more a deep ghostly fruit note (see - barbaresco deep sweetness) true substance to this wine. 5 hours in...back to thst cherry fruit.sweet cherry. Riserva shows on the palate with much bigger oak treatment present.

Excellent, drinking very well now. Not to dry, but mellowed a bit from a younger Chianti. Terrific.
