This was a solid, correct, if unexciting, Chianti.Clear dark ruby color. Medium intensity nose of winey cherries and licorice, along with notes of scorched gravel. Lots of straightforward dark cherry fruit and scorched earth flavors. Soft texture and medium bodied, with just barely enough acidity to prevent it from being dull-feeling. A bit of gritty tannin in the mouth. Not complex, but identifiably Chianti and possessing decent character. B-. Was $16.99 on sale at Randall's on Buffalo Speedway and Holcombe. Imported by Zonin Imports.
