Not too astringent out of the bottle, I really enjoyed this. Black and sour cherries, lots of bitter herbs, dark limestone basement and some noticible oak. Paired great with a spicy pizza.

Wow, so much more going on here than previous bottle. Very expressive, hitting all the fruit/earth notes that I typically expect and want from Chianti Classico. Nice balance of fruit and tannin, medium-bodied. Drank over two nights, no gas and it was excellent on night two.

Not a terribly complex wine but a really pleasant drinker. Went through two bottles over the course of a week, held up nicely for 2-3 days after opening.

Surprisingly delicious, fresh, deep purple color. Not a riserva, but the 14.5 alcohol may have helped it age well. Notes of blackberry and plum.
