title: Triacca 1998 La Palaia  (Chianti Classico)
description: You can almost tell from the look that this is dense and heavy. It has a huge bouquet of wet earth, spice and oak, but not much fruit. In the mouth, it is drying and on the flat side, although still-kicking tannins reach up and grab the palate. The finish is soft and losing life. Some oxidation and overripeness hold it back.
variety: Red Blend
designation: La Palaia
