$22, 3 stars, 89 points, chianti classico, Italy, sangiovese, tuscany
Pale ruby colored, this Sangiovese has lovely aromas of red cherry, tar, rose petals, orange peel, leather, green herbs (dill) and sandalwood. The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity and medium (+) tannins. Medium to full bodied- I get flavors of tart red cherry, leather, rose petal and that dill component. A slight charred oak note follows on at the mid palate and the finish is short. A serviceable Chianti that lacks a real oomph, it gets 89 points from me and for $22 it is a 3 star effort to drink till 2027. Salut….
