  A little light and unremarkable when I first opened it. 243 hours later, I consumed the second half of the bottle. It was much better the second day, with plum and earth showing thru a medium finish. I will definitely decant my remaining bottles.

  While this is a lighter rendition of Chianti there is IMO nothing to complain about. Well made and with reasonable complexity. Another year may be better if you are buying, but there is nothing wrong with the wine. It is what ut us and that is a nice food friendly Chianti.

  Still not nearly as good as the 2016, but I enjoyed this a lot more than the previous bottle. It’s coming in to form. Drank with brisket.

  Jolie nez sur la cerise et le noyau. Idem en bouche mais assez mince et l'acidité et l'astringence est particulièrement élevé. Pas le meilleur équilibre. Le 2016 est supérieur.
  Un bon passage en carafe lui fait du bien...
  D'ailleurs, bien meilleur le lendemain, s'est assoupli, arrondi et développé une belle suavité.

  Didn’t like it at all. Totally different from the 2015. None of the pepper. Very light body. Not sure how this got rated so highly on VV. Maybe my bottle was bad. Will give my remaining 3 some time to figure themselves out.
