Tried it straight out of the bottle- hot, alcoholic nose, light to medium mouthfeel with dry tannins. After decanted the fruit comes through, get a truffle, forest floor nose. The mouth feel becomes a bit more full. Medium dry finish. The wine looks Crimson colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Forest floor, Mushroom, Medicinal, Vanilla, and Black Pepper. The wine looks Crimson colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Mushroom, Forest floor, Toast, Vanilla, and Black Pepper. It tastes like Cherry, Dust, Mineral, and Black Pepper. The body is Medium. The wine has Leathery texture. The wine finishes Medium.

Soft, dusty tannins and a vein of acidity meld with sour cherry, blackberry, smoky thyme and loam. Anise seed, tobacco and violet become threaded with time.

Similar to last years tasting but a little smoother and needed more time to decant to develop.

Ruby red with light aromas of cherries and cedar. It was balanced, dry and robust on the palate. It had a medium dry after taste. Good solid Chianti

everything you want in a chianti and a decent QPR at $20. drinks fine straight out of the bottle, but really opens up after 30 min in the decanter.
