Slightly mature ruby. Pleasant, profound, fruit-forward nose with spicy, smoky undertones. Wonderful aromatic presence on the palate with ripe, polished tannins and a spicy finish accented by liquorice. A true rendition of Chianti. Sangiovese 100%. Minimum 12 mths in Slovenian and French oak, 10 mths min in bottle. Deep crimson. Autumnal top note. Fruity palate expression, very welcoming and flattering. Perhaps a little low in acidity but a friendly wine. Jancis Robinson
