The 2001 Chianti Classico points to why this is shaping up as a very interesting vintage for Tuscany. The full aromatic range of wild cherries, tar, licorice, and tobacco can be found in the nose, and the palate is solid, long, and of important size for a regular Chianti Classico bottling. Drink: 2005-2008.
