  This bottle would probably have been better a year or two ago. Still, nice leathery Chianti with good cherry fruit, good acidity.

  Well integrated and at a good pointl. Lots of cherries, cranberries, dust and some leather. Very slightly spicy. Slightl notes of cherry cough syrup. Some drying tannins remain on a finish that is quite long with more cherries and a bit of cough syrup again. After standing in the glass for 3 hours developed mildly sour notes. Recommend pop and pour for this one.
