This is a lovely Chianti Classico. Lots of depth, nice finish, and nice fruit. Decant for about an hour to allow some of the acidic bitterness to fade. Nice tannins and oak on the wine as well. I enjoyed this one and would recommend it … Bang on varietal!
ANTINORI PÈPPOLI CHIANTI CLASSICO 2006 DOCG
TASTING NOTE: Delivers ripe blackberry and raspberry, with pronounced floral and mineral notes. Almost meaty in character. Medium- to full-bodied, with a silky texture and lots of flavor. Finishes long, with an almost exotic twist in the end. Lots to enjoy. Drink now. Score – 90. (James Suckling,www.winespectator.com, Sep. 30, 2008)
