The 1993 Chianti Classico Riserva Ducale Gold Label reveals lots of aromatics, as well as sweet, ripe fruit without a high level of astringent tannin. A complex nose of smoke, dried herbs, sour cherries, grilled meats, and herbs is enticing. Rich, with medium to full body, good acidity, and sweet tannin, it is close to full maturity, and should last for 10-12 years.
