Vintage Cellar Review:

This beautiful wine has the very deep red, almost purple color, that you would expect in a Chianti. The first thing you notice is the fruit, balanced by a bit of spice. It's a good dry wine with a bold flavor. Even with it's boldness, this Chianti is velvety smooth.

Personal Review:

This wine was very strong and very bitter. It was full of flavor but it is so overwhelming I could pick out anything individually. Note to self, not ready for the Chiantis just yet.
