1997 Antinori Chianti Badia a Passignano

1997 Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva Badia a Passignano - iy has been three years since I opened a bottle of this and it is still holding up well. Edges perhaps a tad paler, the nose consistent with lots of decent berry fruit and some 'shroom hints. Long and smooth and with a very nice finish that lingered. Getting into the final period and I'll likely open my last bottle in the next few months.

I have (mentally) scheduled popping a cork on another wine from the same decade that I have really enjoyed, the 1995 Selvapiana Chianti Rùfina Riserva Bucerchiale.
