The 1988 Chianti Classico offers a fragrant perfume of black raspberries, oak, and toast. In the mouth, there is a lovely, medium-bodied, supple texture, with excellent fruit, decent acidity, and a velvety smooth, impressively long finish. Neither large-scaled nor wimpishly light, it is a tasty wine for drinking over the next 5-6 years. Importer: Grape Expectations, Emoryville, CA.
