Drank my last bottle. Previous comment was "Still holds up at 17 years." which still stands. I was maybe too generous last time with 90 point scoring, so going down 1 point here.

Monthly Tasting Group HWS #113; Italy: Chianti Classico Riserva (By BS): Dark berries and cherries, oak, herbs, earth, leather and rustic impressions. On the palate juicy dark berry fruits, some chocolate, laurel, tea, salty licorice and autumn impressions. Good acidity and beautifully round tannin. Also a touch of pleasant sweetness and bitterness in the finish. Still a beautiful and mature wine.

Good balance medium bodied bit of spice and good backbone. Medium mouthfeel and long finish.
