October 21, 2021 - While there's some nice fresh fruit here, notably blackberry and raspberry and dark cherry, this is a Chianti that focuses more on a distinctly floral character, similar to, say, Piedmontese reds, with fresh purple flowers mingling with vaguely funky dried flowers and pot pourri, along with herbs, mushrooms, and an overall earthy, dusty character. This makes it quite savoury, more so than one finds with Sangiovese generally, though the fruit does provide some balance and the still fairly sharp acidity enlivens all that earthy-floral-umami savouriness.

October 21, 2021 - Decanted and poured, good QPR at $11, solid tannins, no major flaws, nothing particularly to recommend, not much aging potential. Meh, but a good meh.
