Bouquet is dense and ripe. Lots of violets, cloves and some ripe black cherries. Hints of leather and cedar.
Full bodied on palate, with some sweetness from ripeness, powerful structure and excellent grip from the tannins.
Slightly toasted finish.

Excellent Chianti Riserva.
I honestly wasn’t expecting it to still be in such a good shape, but look:
The structure is perfect, the wine is still fresh!
Was way more concentrated that I was expecting as well.
A warm and full bodied Chianti that’s “saturated”, but not fat or too heavy.
Love it!
