1949 Chianti Classico and every decade since tasted!
















1949 Barone Ricasoli Castello di Brolio Chianti Classico Riserva 

Bright orange. Earthy, some cigars, dates and figs, very mature. Fresh acidity, hardly tannins left, very mature, dried fruits, leaner, many will find this gone too far but for me it is hanging in there. Sous bois. Good length. Lovely experience! 91
