Dark in color with a mild nose. On the mid palate the wine displays some varietal Chianti flavors, red berries and the like. On the medium length finish the wine displays some nice smooth tannins and some lovely dryness. This is a surprisingly complex wine for the price. I was suitably impressed and will grab a bottle for a more in depth tasting of this wine. I would give it an 88 or so.
