This single-vineyard Chianti has an impressive array of ripe, rich black fruit aromas mixed with licorice, tarragon and orange zest on the nose followed by clean and almost citrusy dried fruits on the palate. The finish has touches of fennel, molasses and a somewhat overpowering green olive and leather quality. A slightly gritty texture also hurts a little. Too bad, it was very nice until I swallowed.
