2017 vintage. DOCG Chianti Classico. Part of Italy’s 73 regions ranked as top quality tier. This is from the village of Radda. Apparently, Radda’s Chiantis are exceptionally high-toned and elegant. Deep garnet color, you get preserved cherry, black plum, espresso, a medium amount of tannin with an elegant finish with a layer of sweetness. Giving it time to breath softens the tannins and opens up the flavor. — a month ago

Medium ruby with a medium wide quite light ruby garnet rim . Ripe spiced cherries , dried sage and thyme, black tea and earthy notes , touch of high toned volatility too. On the palate this is quite bright and red fruit focused , with spiced cherries , red plum , fresh herbs. Quite high refreshing acidity and slightly gritty tannins, balanced alcohol , with pretty decent , stony , red fruit tinged length . Certainly characterful and true to origin . Needs a couple of years but promising, perhaps come back in 5-8 years time for the best experience. — 18 days ago
