Castell'in Villa Chianti Classico Riserva 2006

Pure flavors of fresh wild strawberries, quite pronounced sour cherry bitterness, some crunchy notes of red plums, a little bit of tobacco, light gamey tones, a hint of ripe dark forest fruits and a touch of savory wood spice. The overall feel is quite structured with the rather high acidity and moderately grippy medium-plus tannins.

The finish is long and somewhat grippy with dry flavors of sour cherries and tart lingonberries, some gamey tones, a little bit of savory wood spice, light earthy notes and a hint of pipe tobacco.
