Deep dark red colour with black shaded edges and a dark red hue. Lovely red currant and red cherry aromatics have a subtle violet overlay with earthy dried herb, tobacco and spicy cedar scents ensuing. Medium bodied and possessing a sense of elegance the palate sees red currant and dried cherry flavours meld into earthy tobacco, dried herb and spicy cedar elements. Dryish finish with slightly firm tannins leading into a medium length aftertaste that shows some rustic charm and balsamic overtones.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.

Other Reviews……
The 2018 Chianti Classico is classy, polished and exceptionally beautiful. Like so many wines in 2018, the Chianti Classico is aromatic and gracious in feel, more finesse than power. Silky tannins wrap around a core of bright Sangiovese fruit. From start to finish, the 2018 is all class. Drink 2020-2033.
