The 2007 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardo is rather subdued at the outset, then explodes on the mid-palate and finish with masses of super-ripe dark fruit, licorice, leather and spices. Despite its jammy, concentrated fruit the Berardo possesses gorgeous balance and a generous, enveloping finish that rounds out its flashy personality. The Berardo is 100% Sangiovese aged in 100% new French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027.-AG
