  Medium red with brick edge. Leather, sour cherry and tobacco nose. Light to medium body with acid forfront and the medium body fruit, leather and licorice next. The tannin is a little rough. This is mature and quite ready.

  Notes of juicy plum and raspberries lead to a mouthful of dark fruit and cocoa. This still has quite the tannic backbone and good acidity, but the fruit has gone into hiding. Not showing great and likely past its peak.

  Good Chianti with a lot of floral notes aside the more typical cherry driven fruit. There are some animal and leather notes in the back palate. The fruit is restrained at times and starts off as a bit austere and thin, but the finish has weight and a bit of the alcohol shows through. Some decent, if uneven, structure here. Quite good with pizza, but overpriced. Still needs an hour in the decanter.

  Tenuta di Arceno 2008 Chianti Classico Riserva (SRP $30): A brilliant ruby-purple in color, this Chianti Classico Riserva contains 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot. Its inviting, perfume-scented nose offers violets, rose petals and sweet black cherries with a dash of vanilla bean and baking spice. The palate is well-balanced and fresh with flavors of tart cherry fruit, black raspberry, brown spice, and delicate mineral tones. The wine’s appealing streamlined mouth-feel and juicy acidity makes it an excellent choice for the dinner table – think spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, vegetable lasagna or poultry dishes. I enjoyed this wine on its own and with a tasty rotisserie chicken dinner. Drink now. Region: Tuscany, Italy. (Other info: ABV 14.3%, cork enclosure).
