Decanted for about an hour. Restrained nose with some cherry, dark plum, herbs and floral notes. On the palate medium bodied with silky tannins and a nice structure. Short to medium finish and a pronounced acidity which was a bit too much for me. Nice drinkability with food, wouldn't enjoy this wine without. Overall a bit thin but good everyday wine.

Ruby with purple tint. This is an excellent fruity chianti, that is ready from the start and is going to hold through at least for 5 more years. For details have a look at my previous notes. 5/12/17/9. -2025+.92+ from Monica Larner (TWA), 93 from A La Carte, 91 from Galloni and 92 from Suckling. I've skipped the 2015, but am going to buy some bottles of the 2016.

Same notes as in 02.19. Powerful and energetic with structuring tannin and acidity, that feels less pronounced than I remember from earlier bottles. 5/12/17/8. -2025+

ruby color with very high tannins. Not overly special and leaves you with the cotton mouth taste of most chiantis.
