Community Tasting Note

  • jkscully Likes this wine:

    August 1, 2022 - This has the nice bright cherry flavor, plums, and black currant that I liked to see in Chianti. It’s not super complex, but it’s happy and delightful. I do get the mushrooms and vegetal flavors, though in a nice way, along with smoke good minerality, and what someone else on CT called “Tuscan dust.” This is very good for $24 and, compared to several of the other budget Chiantis that I’ve had recently, this one is better (it is a Riserva).

    This drank well as soon as I popped the cork, but it also developed well over the course of the evening. It was even better the second day as developed thickness. This is one to get again and again if you are looking for affordable Chianti.
