The 2010 Chianti Classico emerges from the glass with big, generous fruit supported by the firm tannins of the vintage. Black cherries, plums, smoke and licorice wrap around the plush finish. This is a fairly large-scaled style for the year. There is more than enough depth in the fruit to make me think the 2010 will drink nicely for a number of years. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. These new releases from Castello di Querceto are a bit of a mystery. The wines mostly possesses excellent fruit, richness and density, but are also heavily oaked to the extreme.
