Dull garnet hue with slight bricking at the rims with aromas of dried cherries, licorice, rustic spices
Palate--Super steely front with bright cherry on the front palate with loads of tart pie cherries mid palate, lovely hints of forest floor, and mature fruit with a finish that lingers a bit of dried cherries.
Querceto has been a perennial favorite as I have tasted numerous vintages of this steady Chianti. Having been to its "birth place" every time I open a bottle I am taken back to romantically dank cheese cellars, abandoned, ancient Tuscan tombs on an obscure roadside, and touring in a brand new BMW rental car when our crappy little Fiat was not available. (Given to us for the same price!)
A wine really can have a sense of "place" when tasting the terroir of nicely crafted wine. This one takes me back to the Tuscan hillside, mountain top villages, and striped smoke stacks of Siena in the distance. I paid $10 for this absolute steel so raise a glass!
