Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Bella Mcdowell rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

I love a good, full-bodied Chianti and this fits the bill. A nose with notes of strawberries, plum, and cherries. Tastes of dark cherries and blackberries with balanced, silky tannins and a long finish. Great wine and a perfect pair with classic Italian dishes.
Karen Anderson reviewed this wine as follows:

100% Sangiovese grapes lovingly cared for by the Manetti family, aged in oak and delivering smooth spice notes and dark cherry fruit. I drank it while nibbling aged pecorino from Pienza and felt perfectly pleased with myself.
Blackberry and dark plum aromas follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a bright, fruity finish. There’s a nice combination of bright fruit and clean acidity. Drink now. Score – 91. Source: James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
