1997 Stefano Farina Chianti Classico Riserva Le Bocce

Popped and poured... a nice CCR with attractive sour cherry and dried flowers on the palate. Earth and faint mushroom notes on the nose.
Lacks the depth of other 1997 vintage (as well as 1990 vintage) CCR's I have had recently ... will see how this turns out a bit later. Very faded garnet color. Am not sure more aeration will bring out a lot more in this wine.
