Colognole 1997 Chianti Rufina (Chianti Rufina)

Country: Italy / Chianti Rufina
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: Colognole / Chianti Rufina

This is a big burly wine that just has too many off aromas. Heavy barnyard scents mix with tart berry and espresso elements, and although there’s body here, and what seem to be basically good elements, the stable-like odors stop the show.
