Consistent with previous notes. Wanting more from this wine, vis a vis price/vintage/region and hoping that the last two bottles from this shipment will develop and offer more with some additional cellar time. Drank over two nights; no gas. Second night showed no discernible development or degradation.

Pleasant. Distinctly Tuscan, spot on Sangiovese character. Tasting partner found overall profile to be a but muted. Drank over two nights, no gas, no significant improvement or decline. Expecting a bit more from this vintage at this stage of development.

Lighter color, slightly transparent. Nose is classic with notes of cherry, smoke, and leather. Something minerally as well. Palate is fruit forward, but not sweet, with good tannins and basic structure. A bit drying. Red and black fruits. Dry finish of sour cherry and black fruits. Basic, easy drinking Chianti that is well made and can age.

Not going to buy this again. Prior reviewer critiqued as kind of thin and I agree with that. Not terrible, but not interesting and just a little rough.
