Barone Ricasoli Rocca Guicciarda, 1996
This is a Chianti Classico Reserva that we brought back from our trip to Tuscany in 2000. Last night we decided we should pop the cork and see how it was drinking after being cellared for 7 years. It showed a dark red color with crimson and purple hues. On the nose there were green herbs with sour cherry and strawberry. The fruit flavors were still fresh with blackberry and cherry. The wine was medium bodied with a long satisfying finish. Both the tannins and acidity were smooth and controlled. This wine really elevated or simple dinner of soup and sandwich!
