This Chianti Classico doesn’t say it’s from a particular commune. Just a straight Chianti Classico. The modest nose features dark cherry, warm moist gravel, savory dark minerality. A fairly low-toned palate displays some dark cherry, but it’s mostly earthy (stony gravel) and savory flavors that prevail. Vibrant acids and some youthful but soft tannin seem to indicate that this will get better in a year or two, but it’s nice with dinner, if a bit vigorous, right now. Neither the cork nor the bottle say the winery that provided the wine for this Garagiste private label, but if you look up the winery number on the back and Google it, you come up with an Italian government document that says Casa Emma (a very good estate). — 3 years ago

Emma & Christian Sorine - Santenay vieilles vignes 2018.
Very nice nose of cherry, rose petals, hay, vanilla and tiny bit of oak. This is very subtle and nice. The palate is model of balance, strong acid backbone, very wide palate with cherry notes and a floral thing if that's even possible to taste, a teeny tiny touch of oak, a soft and delicate mouthfeel that shivers nicely in mid palate to the rhythm of the tannins. The finish is salivating with cherry, those nice oaky notes, a persisting tannins layer and a crisp, almost fresh everlasting note. This is truly a great effort. I didn't expect it to be on that level. — 4 years ago

17/20 (92/100) Темно-гранатовое, практически непрозрачное. Аромат с сильной пряной составляющей - чёрный перец, гвоздика, лавровый лист; спелые чёрные ягоды. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью и довольно интенсивными, мягкими танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе. — 7 years ago

Celebrating the birth of our twins, Drew and Emma!!! Can't go crazy while helping feed the little ones every 3 hours, but a glass of this is a great change to 4 nights in the hospital.

Classic Matthiasson Napa Red Blend. Definitely give it a little air, but it is somewhat passed its prime in my mind. The nose is the best part, then the finish, but it is starting to run thin and losing fruit and tannins. Still a great wine!

Back to burp cloths and bottles of a different type :) — 8 years ago

Amforajäst ren sangiovese, nerklassificerad Chianti. Mycket bär och frukt i samspel med kryddiga och lite charkiga toner. Finkorniga tanniner och bra syra. Något för volatil för min smak. — 4 years ago

Very nice Chianti Classico. Lots of dark red fruit with good earth and leather and excellent acid. Probably would have guessed a bit older, actually, based on the fact that the secondary is poking through. Nice wine. — 6 years ago

Moderate ruby in color with aromas of cherry and licorice with hints of violets and cured meat. Wild berry fruit and spice evident on the palate with bright acidity and fine grained tannins notable at the finish. 50/50 blend of organically farmed Grenache and Syrah aged in neutral oak and sourced from the little known Côtes du Vivarais AOC on the west bank of the Rhône. Imported by Kermit Lynch. 13.5% alcohol. $29. — 7 years ago
