The 2009 Chianti Classico is beautiful in this vintage. Sweet dark cherries, cola and spices caress the palate as this juicy Chianti opens up in the glass. The fruit tends towards the darker end of the spectrum and the style is decidedly modern, but it all works nicely here. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
