Dark in color with a mild cherry nose. On the mid palate the wine packs a punch with vibrant dark cherries, dark chocolate tomato and mocha notes. On the medium length finish especially without food the wine displays lovely rich, firm, velvety tannins and vibrant acidity … nice and dry. This is a beautifully complex Chianti classico, definitely a yum wine. I would give it an 88+. From the LCBO web site, check stock:
