Uggiano 2009 Riserva (Chianti)

Country: Italy / Riserva
Variety: Red Blend Tuscany
Winery: Uggiano / Chianti

This opens with aromas of blue iris, plum and menthol. On the palate, subtle notes of sage, toast and coffee accent a core of fleshy black cherry. It still has tightly wound, drying tannins that need to unwind but it’s rather shy on fresh acidity so best to enjoy soon.
