Critics Review:
"DaVinci Chianti is a well-balanced wine of medium weight with jammy flavors of ripe plums, cherries and red fruit. It has a deep crimson color and is a lively wine with a soft mineral finish and round tannins that linger in long, peppery finish. This wine pairs perfectly with all starters, pastas and meat dishes."

Some of the specific flavors and aromas mentioned are cherry, roasted tomato, sweet balsamic, oregano, and espresso. I was definitely able to get the cherry, and oddly enough the balsamic towards the end. It wasn't like the typical balsamic smell, but more just the vinegar-like notes that I could smell.

This page just talks about the aging specifications in Chianti, which is interesting because I genuinely had no idea that Chianti wines were named based off their aging and quality requirements. For Chianti wines that are aged for two years, they are called "Riserva" which is what this wine is.
My Personal Review:
This was my first time ever trying Sangiovese wine, and I honestly was not a huge fan of it at first but it definitely grew on me. I felt like this wine was fruit forward, as I was able to get the cherry off the rip. But as it went, I was able to get a little bit of vinegar followed by a tannic finish. Overall, I'm not sure if I would buy this wine again because the price before discount was something like $43, but it was marked down to $20.
