Wine review: Wine Enthusiast - 90 Points
There's lots of toast on the nose and palate of this very New Worldish Chianti, but there's not denying the appeal of the blackberry, espresso and bitter-chocolate elements. Gracefully broad-shouldered, it packs in a lot of flavor. The long, black licorice-tinged finish bears full, but smooth, tannins.
My review: Wow I absolutely enjoyed this wine! A definite treat. On the nose I was relaxed with dark bitter chocolate, coffee, leather, black currant, plum, and a subtle hint of anise. Slightly acidic on the palate but smoothing out the longer it opened, the flavor profile showcased earthy tones of coffee, bitter chocolate, brambles, and dusty tannins.
Rating:
Straight Flush
