  Now this is an excellent bottle of chianti. Red fruited and fresh up front but with classic sangiovese with acidity and porcelain tannin on the finish. Nice catch at $27.

  POP. Too much dust, not enough fruit. Pleasant, good mouth feel, well made, but lacking the truly great taste one would expect in such a bottling. Tastes like it's over the hill already, which is perhaps why its available for $19.95
  That's really all it's worth.

  quite nice! especially for $21. decanted 90 min, big and still very fresh/tight; nice acidity underlying dark red fruit, menthol, pepper; med+ body; paired well with baked sausage red sauce pasta.

  Gave 90m air. Pale garnet color. Offers cherry, mushroom, clay pot, thyme, white pepper and a hint of cured meat. Slightly thin texturally, but juicy cherry on the palate, with dusty earthiness through the lingering finish. Medium-bodied and excellent structure from the bright acidity and firm chunky tannins. Excellent pizza wine.

  I karaffel og fulgt over 3 timer. Frisk lukt av roser, jordbær, mørke moreller,hint av kirsebær, marsipan og tørkede grønne urter. Smaken er dominert av friske lyse og mørke bær. I munnen er den silkemyk og deilig. Delikat, kjølig, middels kraftig frukt, behagelig balanserende syre og milde, bløte tanniner. Overraskende tilgjengelig nå. Mykt munngrep, som en myk barnefot i en silkehanske. Lukten imponerer mest.
