Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 3, 2020 - Decent, although considering the vintage, pretty good. Good acidity keeps it lively on the palate, with ripe red fruit on the nose. Not overly complex, but a typical daily drinker of a Chianti.

Do you feel age has helped this Chianti?

That said, I think generically that age always helps a well-made Chianti, so given the inherent limitations of the 2008 vintage, the wine showed as well as could be expected. But the 2014 is clearly (at least IMO) the better wine.
