Sweet dark cherries, licorice and spices are some of the nuances that flow from the 2008 Chianti Classico Riserva. This is one of the most polished, restrained wines I have tasted here in a long time from Vignavecchia. An energetic, wiry finish rounds things out nicely. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018.
