An Old World wine. I found the 2011 not as smooth as the 2009 but improves as it breathes. Not complex but at this price point does it have to be. Definite taste of tannins. A wine to have with meals.

Not extremely complex, but still a good chianti. Slight hint of oak, cherry and plum.

A nice and well-balanced Chianti. Always dependable and delicious out of the Antinori house.

Smooth and silky... not super fruity yet just right. A very nice Italian red, even along with truffle fries :)
