This is typically one of my favorite chiantis - Antinori - I am sure you are familair with them - there is also an excellent restaurant located where they make this wine.

Kpak - Antinori is one of the largest producers in Italy. That Chianti should be pretty solid. They also make Tignanello among many others.

This is a great vintage of Antinori Chianti, especially if you enjoy a deeper, more concentrated style of wine (in my experience, characteristics atypical of most Chianti). I brought a bottle of it over to my parents house to drink with an Italian meal and everyone enjoyed it.

Hard to ever go wrong with Antinori.

Sorry I didn't post earlier but couldn't find my notes so I opened my last bottle. It showed no change from the first three.
I'm sad to say it went to the garden; they where all loaded with brett and lots of it.

The color was dark and lumy with a pruny, rasiny fig and mousy component about the nose.
The mouth feel was Ugly. There is no sign of sangiovese in this wine to be found. It tasted like Colorino grapes blended with a dead Amarone.

Bad stuff

Ron, do you think maybe your lot is cooked? Kind of sounds like it.

Nah it had some bacteria issues going on that over heating couldn't do. Alone with the grape varietal being unrecognizable. There is a chance it was cooked as well witch would make matters worst.

I was told Cellar Tracker  notes where  pretty much the same.

Shame, I'm a Huge chianti fan.
