title: Castello di Monsanto 1998 Riserva  (Chianti Classico)
description: Tight and closed right now, with a touch of sulfur and scrambled eggs on the nose. It's classic Chianti, meaning it's hard in its youth, with racy tannins and not much overt richness. Some caramel appears on the finish, courtesy of the oak. If given time, this wine will certainly open up more than it does currently.
variety: Sangiovese
designation: Riserva
