The 1988 Chianti Classico offers a super nose of black cherries, herbs, and smoked meat. The palate confirms the fine initial impression as this wine possesses great fruit and ripeness, wonderful intensity, a medium-bodied, supple texture, and a long, luscious finish. This is a delicious and fairly priced Chianti for drinking over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Admiralty Beverage, Portland, OR.
