  San Giusto a Rentennano tasting in Wine Taste Gdansk (Wine Taste Gdansk): Second wine of the night, definitely not the best bottle of 2012 I had.
  👀 Cherry red with garnet nail.
  👃 Earthy, with quite mature fruits which unfortunately didn't change throughtout the evening.
  👅 On the palate iit had quite dusty tannins and high acidity, but on the plus side it was very intense.
  🏁 The finish was long but maybe a little out of balance overall. Reading my previous comments I think this one was a but unfortunate bottle, if the bottle is in good condition it can still wait few more years.

  Very nice chianti wine. Very soft on the pallette with limited tannins. Raspberry and Cherry tones wth some vanilla notes. Very nice wine which we enjoyed with a meal.

  Cherry and juniper on the nose. Cherry, cedar, blackberry, red currant, dried herbs and hints of leather on the palate. Some austerity with good tannic structure. Good maturity and well balanced at this stage. Delicious

  See prior note. Tannins are softening and still with plenty of fruit. Can hold for some years still

  Intense red with a garnet hue, nose with a bit of blackberry covered by tertiary notes like iron, leather, tobacco. The wine is great in the mouth with just a little bit of harsh tannins reminding how much this bottle can still go on. The finish is very long fo an annata Chianti Classico, not for San Giusto.
