  Gang of 5 in Covid19 times; Chianti Classico (@ RW): The bouquet shows red currants, thyme, some barnyard and dusty impressions.. On the palate a firm amount of acidity, oak, mushrooms, earth and autumn impressions. Juicy wine with a good length.

  Opened, decanted, and consumed over seven hours
  Deep ruby, ox-blood in color. Medium ++ body
  Red berries, dusty, some wet wool, and mineral notes showing on the nose
  Surprising big and full bodied, with a longish finish. Tastes like the nose. Some iodine, and fruit leather hints, red licorice. This is definitely at its peak. I can't see it getting much better, but time did this wine well. Good stuff!

  Rustic, strapping, and very young! A powerhouse! Showing some secondary notes and likely to continue evolving for five to seven years. 90-91.

  Like JasperMay says, "Fresh, fruity and acidic". Perfect accompaniment to a bowl of pasta with italian sausage and tomatoes.
