San Guisto a Rentennano, Chianti Classico 2005

Red.

Nose of red cherry jam, meat/balsamic action and a hint of tar. Deep.

Round entry (for the category), with framing acidity immediately focusing the fairly simple red fruit and "mineral" flavors. Lightweight impression with nice purity.

Seems bound up in the mouth. Air time should help.

Day 3 - Similar nose. Extremely bound up in the mouth. Huge acid spine. I have no idea if this will benefit from aging.

Day 7 - Indeed. Great cran/raspberry/cherry jam and tar nose. Still vibrant. Deeper and still acid-chewy in the mouth. Maybe 2-4 more years?
