Excellent Chianti that was as enjoyable by itself as when paired with fine Italian food. This is a fine Chianti and remarkably smooth.

This was ok overall - went really well with the baked zitti. Was really jammy with some earth tones. It was a pretty straight forward wine that went with the food well.

Disappointing, acid taste, light bodied, lack of character for a Riserva.

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
