This is a gem of a chianti. It is very reasonably priced and gives lots of value. The color is deep red. There was no bouquet. The flavor was spritely - a nice blend of fruit, acidity and tannin.

Décidément, ce vin se bonifie un peu plus à chaque nouvelle bouteille. Bel équilibre et très droit, très classique quoi. Beau fruit, belle longueur et excellent RQP.

Brilliant garnet-esque ruby. Bright cherry and faint notes of tobacco on the nose and palate. Medium plus acidity and medium tannins. Lengthy finish. Great QPR, though I prefer Riserva.

See: m- ruby with some violet tinges at the core. Faded ruby-garnet rim.
Smell: Delicate in aroma, without a sense of depth. Notes of cherry, wild strawberry, grilled herbs, undergrowth, and a touch of cocoa.
Taste: Elegant and lithe, very feminine in feel. M- body, with m- tannins (polished, glossy), med/m+ acidity (succulent, bright). A note of blood orange creeps onto the palate and lingers onto the open, medium-length finish.

Cépages : Sangiovese : 95% et Canaiolo : 5% Robe assez pâle, style Pinot ou Mourvèdre! Le nez est sur les petits fruits rouges, l’anis encore et un peu de fleur. En bouche, un peu amer et acide, astringent même avec un petit côté vert. Les Tannins sont charnus avec une finale assez longue mais on ressent un peu de chauffe.

A little flat maybe from being so old. However was good. If you have this should drink now.

Vraiment très bien et très classique dans son style; bonne acidité, pas trop d'extraction, pas trop de bois ni de sucre résiduel.

Vibrant fruits come out of the glass and the palate is light fruits and dry. I will continue buying this wine

offers good p/q, well made : the Sangiovese gives a nice structure to the acidity
