Tasting notes

This was a Chianti classico riserva in a fine and traditional style. A bit too hard to enjoy right now. Dark red colour. Fine and typical nose with hints of cherries, earth and spice. Fullbodied and traditional CCR in the mouth. The fruit is slightly underripe with hints of cherries, earth. A little closed and showing very much. Tight structure with good acidity and some hard tannins in the back. Needs more time. Try again in 5 years.
