  This seems like it was once good but has already become over-aged. Still drinkable, but the drinking window to 2030 is a big miss.

  A bit strident and underwhelming, not so inviting, with the fruit somewhat muted. Medium acidity. I generally don't seek out Chianti Classico as I find the acidity doesn't suit my palate.

  Bottle was corked; some clear signs of infiltration in the cork; undrinkable

  either a bad bottle or a bad wine. many others have complained of the same. some oakiness and volatile acidity ruined this right from the start. poured it down the drain.............

  Juicy, oaky, soft, ripe, nice acidity. Very polished with very little sangio feel/funk or rusticity. Not serious but It's a quaffable, spicy, ripe, glass that feels Italian enough.
  
  not exactly sure why I was holding these other than mere curiosity meets hoarder vibes. Costco buy... not sure it's drinking any better than it was on release.
  
  For the price, a great example of a tasty modern/young-drinking Chianti. No shade. WE O'Keefe is always more trustworthy than WA or Suckling... it's a solid 89 vicinity with no reason to age<<<<and that's not bad!!!
