  Not terribly expressive. Mid weight with medium acidity and round soft tannins. A pleasure to drink.

  Chianti time, a juicy one with a little dryness. Earthy aromas to go along with perfume, thyme, and red fruit. Juicy flavors of sweet cranberry, tobacco, pepper, dried herbs, blackcurrant, and menthol. Some chalky dry tannins with medium plus acidity which makes for a very food-friendly wine. Only 45 minutes of decant is needed.

  Very juicy, very fresh, very addictive. What else we can demand?
  We can demand less vanilla and more spice, like black pepper. We can demand more tannins and less acidity. We don't complain about delicious red cherry mixed with milk chocolate and coffee, but we complain about nice, but weak aromas.
  And finish - soft and short, but what is more important in this wine? Read my first sentence 🙂 Classical Classico 🙂

  I feel this has gone to sleep. Give it some time before you try again. Red and dark fruit. Bit international as someone else said. Doesnt feel as sapid as I like. Disjointed with an emphasis on sour cherry. Not like the last 2 bottles of this vintage. I feel it will resolve
