Slightly deeper ruby , medium garnet rim . Quite closed and meaty at first , herbal touches , cedar , some cherry fruit underneath , but quite serious . On the palate this has more density and a little more polished tannin quality . Spiced cherry , sage and cedar . Slightly deeper fruits . Longer on the palate , with quite firm tannins and bright acidity . Needs a little time , and food . Probably better in 5 years and will hold well a further 5-10

Really a very nice Chianti Classico from Radda. Purchased on sale from eataly for $24, great value. I do like many radda chiantis for their higher acid more high toned nature - this has that, but also brings a degree of wildness that is intriguing. Perfect pairing with a long simmered sausage ragu on a day that ended up being slightly warmer than anticipated for a meal like that.

Really lifted Chianti, medium body. Profile is kind of like unripe dark fruit - tannic of course and no ripe, but still has the essence of like red plum or cherry, some licorice
