I popped this for some friends, and everyone really enjoyed it. Personally, I think it's at least three years too young, but it's still a pretty Chianti Classico. Aromas of plum, cedar, licorice and tobacco. The palate shows very firm tannins, medium acid, and compact plum and black cherry fruit. The tobacco and smoke accent the finish, but they need time to come out and show themselves. This is not a subtle wine. Two hours open, this wine got much more expressive. I wager this will be far better with some age. Drank with Geoff and Danica.

90% sangiovese. Nose is fresh, fruity. Did not have a lot of wood. Taste was fresh with some acidity which make me doubt if i opened the bottle to early. Taste is full but again a bit closed. Perhaps this one shouls be kept for a 2-3 years.
