• 1972 Castello di Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggio - Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG (12/24/2013)
  Color: Seriously bricked. Edge is 1/4" translucent. Past its prime

Nose: Leather, dried dark fruits, tobacco leaves

Palate: High. Acidity, tannins are almost gone, but still slightly there, the fruit is long gone, but a dried red fruit and leather finish competes with the acids to give an OK drinking experience.

Past its prime. C-

I had the '71 last year from a very well-stored cellar, and it was drinking great

I had two that were spoiled. The 82s I have had have been amazing. The 72s not!
