Corky but beautiful weight and elegance underneath. Have to track down another.

Ruby garnet color, which brings to mind memories of so many Chianti Classico bottles from the past. The nose produces the same Chianti characteristics we all know and love. Dried herbs and spices, cherry cola, and some faint cinnamon express themselves from the start. Such a smooth, balanced palate of supple leather, strawberries, pepper, forest floor, and mint. The best aspect here is the acidity towards the finish. A classic Classico, this baby makes you want to drink more.

Pleasant Chianti. Was young and very tight. We had to let the bottle rest for a full day before the smoothness and fullness of the wine came through
