The attractive deep ruby/garnet color of the 1986 Chianti-Riserva-Ser Lapo suggests fine extraction of fruit. The nose of sweet leather, herbs, and cherries is both fragrant and persistent. In the mouth, there is fine ripeness, a rich, medium-bodied texture, and attractive fruit levels in the soft, moderately long finish. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.

Concentrated, vivid tart cherry, raspberry and floral flavors compete for attention against a somewhat austere background of firm tannins and juicy acidity. Needs cellaring until 1993 to '95 to polish all the textures.??–null??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
