Country of origin: Italy
Wine appellation: Tuscany, Chianti Classico
Vintage: 20011
Alcohol content: 13.5%
Color: darker red
Bouquet: cherries, sour cherries, a bit spices, still fruit is in dominance but supported by nice smell of tannins
Taste: medium body, elegant,  cherries, sour cherries, good gentle acidity,  good structure and balance between the fruit and oak,  medium tannins, medium to longer finish
Overall score: 4+8+12+6+7=87

Very nice, however very young to drink and it will only improve over 4-8 years. For comparison check my tasting notes of the same wine, but 2008 vintage tasted in December 2012.
