Hints of blackberry and sour cherry are overwhelemed by the oak. The finish is long and smooth, with tons of oak all the way through. Too much oak for my taste

Pepper and some currant on the nose. Very nicely balanced wine with some nice fruit flavors in the mouth. A little grip at the end with a pleasing, although not overwhelming finish. Very good value wine (87-88).

Very woody, on nose and palate. Cedar, I think. This bottle seemed woodier than I remember the others being, although perhaps in part because it followed a light berryriffic Brouilly. Still some dark fruit in there. Good with spaghetti & meatballs.

Grass and sangiovese fruit on the nose. Great fruit and tobacco on the palate with good acid and general clean taste profile. Modest tannins at the end.

A classic Chianti with an obvious sangiovese finish. Quite nice.
