This bottle is much better than the first bottle we had a few weeks ago. Still, not a superior chianti Classico reserva. The bouquet is a little musty. Dark cherry with some chocolate overtones for the taste. Aftertaste is a limitless astringent, but will pair nicely with Italian sauce.

When this is good, it is textbook Chianti, smelling and tasting of the Tuscan terra, with no modern, international humbug. But two bottles of my just-delivered case from Wine Library are TCA-tainted, so this is no bargain.

Not a superior Chianti Classico Rieserva. It was somewhat disappointing...but much better once we were drinking with our lasagna meal.
