Querceto 1996 Riserva (Chianti Classico)

Country: Italy / Riserva
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: Querceto / Chianti Classico

The elements of cherry, mint and cedar on the nose show a touch of age, and the dry cherry fruit on the palate seems to vie with wood for prominence. Overall it’s quite angular, but does show some attractive earthy notes and a chalky element on the finish.
