This wine from an exceptional vintage is showing really well right now. Elegant, high acidity with silky tannins and aroma and flavors of violet, plum, sour cherry, black cherry, leather, clove, wild thyme, and anise. Lovely long finish.

This has such a smooth polished feel to it with remarkably integrated tannins, but it almost disappears after drinking. I’m not sure how I feel about that. Perhaps it’s Mondavi owned roots have something to do with this affect.

An ok Chianti, better with food. Smells like leather, tobacco, and blackberries. Full bodied, acidic bite, raspberries but has a mustiness at the end that makes it finish watery. There just are better Chiantis out there. These issues may also be attribute to the old vintage.

Amazing Chianti that we had for our first meal with my parents at Castello Brolio in the Chianti region of Italy.
