The outstanding 1997 Chianti Classico Riserva Sorbo (a 2,000 case blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits a dense ruby color, as well as Chianti's quintessential blend of elegance and power. Deep, rich, and concentrated, with notes of sweet new saddle leather, black cherries, balsam wood, spice box, and smoke, it has terrific fruit intensity and purity, and a sense of balance and finesse. This compelling Chianti should drink well for a decade.

Dark, solid ruby-garnet. Aromatically intense, penetrating nose of cassis and oak spices. Full and muscular on the palate, with considerable force behind the plum and blackcurrant fruit. Finishes with virile tannins and impressive length.
