not as high in tannins as expected from Chianti, lots of leather and tar, dark fruits and spices

Beautiful almost brunello like chianti; red plums, dries orange peel, floral and earth notes. Still finishes with a bit if bright acidity (maybe too much?) but fine tannins too. Interesting--should age!
