Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro Chianti Classico Riserva 1999

Tuscany, ItalyThe Gold Label Riserva is an 85/15 blend of sangiovese, merlot and colorino that opens with leather, spice, black cherry jam and tobacco aromas with weedy, prune and licorice notes. On the palate it's supple and warm with more licorice root, tobacco, black cherry, plum, spicy coffee flavours with a touch of vanilla and leather on the finish. Nice finesse and length, the merlot helps soften the structure.Tasted: 30 March 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
