Community Tasting Notes 5

  September 20, 2016 - Interesting story. Just got this yesterday from a guy who was gifted this by a house guest, but the guy doesn't drink so he gave it away to me. I was expecting a cheap 10 yr old Chianti that wasn't cellared to be a throw-away, but was pleasantly surprised. It was quite drinkable and not bad at all. Lacking the acidity and structure of a more expensive Chianti, but paired with roasted chicken, it went surprisingly well. I guess it's a testament to the very structured wines of the 2006 vintage in Tuscany that even a cheapie Chianti withstood the test of time, and probably improved!

  May 29, 2008 - Full bodied red with cherry and almond. Enjoyed with pork one night, steak the next, and hamburgers the third day. The flavors seemed to lesson the long the bottle was open, giving off a "heat" sensation early and then mellowing out as the bottle was finished off (after 3 days).
