RUSSK Dispite the negative reviews and muddy unfiltered look of the wiine, I enjoyed it. Mature Sangio nose and taste, with a touch of prune. Slighty past it's prime, but that just added to the complexity of the aromatics. Med-full bodied, smooth tannins, with acid in balance. Easy weekday drinker.

Hot. A little spice, cedar, and red fruit on the nose. Palate of smoke, sweet cassis, and raspberry. Too acidic, unbalanced, and a touch of earth on the finish.

Poured at Gibby's during a small Friday evening tasting. This is a DOCG Chianti weighing in at 13% abv, bottled by, if I recall correctly, Frescobaldi. Nice funkiness on the nose, along with cherry and plum notes. Rich dark fruit on the attack, followed by smoky blackberry and oak tones. 87-88.

I think we tried this wine before, with similar impressions. Stewy, overipe wine. Acidic. Not enjoyable.
