Greppi, Bolgheri Greppicante Size:6x750ml The 2008 Chianti Classico Riserva

The 2008 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardo is super-impressive

dried flowers and honeyed pears

There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the stony and muscular large-bodied flavors that conclude in a youthfully austere and robust finale that flirts with rusticity

In contrast to the phenolic noses of the prior two MâconPierreclos wines

essence of red currant and spice notes that are trimmed in a deft touch of wood
