Community Tasting Notes (5) Avg Score: 88.3 points

  • The wine starts off very closed and one that needs an hour or two to open up. Once open the wine hits you with powerful and expressive roasted espresso, along with rich burnt oak, nice extraction, cherry, raspberry, and currant. The wine is throwing sediment so be careful when you pour the wine. The mouth is medium to full bodied with nice blackberry from a blending of 5% of Cabernet Sauvignon, mouth coating tannin, and toasty oak that makes for a fuller mouth. The finish is long and spicy with vanilla, herb, heavy spice, and lovely floral attack.

  • The nose on this dark garnet colored wine is hopping with rich espresso coffee, hints of chocolate, nice dirt, spice, raspberry, cranberry, and dark cherry. The mouth on this medium to full bodied wine is rich and silky with more espresso, ripe raspberry, dark cherry, and lovely tannin that is nicely integrating. The mid palate is balanced with dirt, acid, tart fruit, spice, oak, and tannin. The finish is long with nice red fruit, acid, spice, tart raspberry, cherry, chocolate, and espresso. On a side note, this is a wine made by the only full time kosher winery in Tuscany! Drink this in the next year or less.

  • The nose on this wine was very nice with notes of cherry and berries but the mouth on this medium bodied wine was too acidic and had a hint of effervescence in the finish.

  • In the glass, the wine is dark ruby in color with a brilliant appearance. Notes of tart green apple, an abundance of cherry and a thin layer of wood (the influence of 6 months in French oak) are present on both the nose and palate. The wine is medium bodied with bright acidity balanced by smooth tannins that slightly grip. The finish is long with rising acidity and capped by notes green apple and grapefruit. Given the choices of Chianti on the kosher market, this one is wonderfully refreshing and easily takes the cake. Cin cin!
