(Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva Tenute Marchese) This blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and other complementary red varieties is a fairly opaque, crimson-ruby color, with aromas of saddle leather, sandalwood, forest, ripe cherry, plum, and star anise. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and dry, with cherry, earth, and tar notes; it has a soft, velvety texture, lively underlying acidity, and a long, earthy finish, although the oak tannins are a bit dusty on the finish. The wine is aged in twice- or thrice-used, 225-liter French barriques. Special Report: Chianti Classico

Subtle raisin and barnyard nose. Dark berry compote and raisin with good acidity and surprisingly notable tannins. Very short finish.

Red berries and stewed cherry nose. Red fruit with good acidity and soft but firm tannins. Mid length finish.

Schöner, kräftiger Wein mit vielen Tanninen. Dunkle Farbe und kräftiges Beerenaroma. Wirklich gut!
