This single vineyard Chianti from one of Tuscany's legendary producers is the best wine Monsanto has produced since the glorious duo of 1970 and 1971. A late-released Tuscan 1985, the quality makes the wait worthwhile. It is expensive, but this is exemplary juice! A huge nose of cedar, roasted berries, herbs, and tobacco leaps from the glass with remarkable intensity. The mouthfeel is one of voluptuous, super-concentrated, multi-dimensional fruit, glycerin, and hefty alcohol. This full-bodied, spectacular Chianti is already drinking magnificently, and based on past vintages, it can be expected to improve for at least another 7-8 years and last through most of the first decade of the next century. An exceptional wine, it serves as a benchmark for what heights Chianti can attain. Importer: Palace Brands, Hartford, CT.

Tough and tannic, but the spicy, cedary raspberry aromas and flavors manage to make themselves felt. Needs cellaring to tame the tannins, perhaps until 1994 to '95.??–null??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
