2013 Chianti Classico DOCG, Tuscany, Italy

Clearly developed, leathery, tobacco and somewhat undergrowth nose of predominantly black berries with iodine, some iron, black olives and dried tomatoes. Quite juicy, again fairly developed fruit, present, crumbly-sandy tannins, dried-vegetable to tobacco notes, a little malty sweetness on the palate, soya notes, dried-floral tones, undergrowth and leaves, hints of tomato, no longer too deep, good to very good finish. At the end of its possibilities.
