The 2008 Ruffino Chianti Classico Riserva Ducale ‘Oro’ brings aromas and flavors of plum and cherry, which are flowed by moist earth, licorice, mint and spices. It is silky, yet firm with well-integrated tannins and long finish. This is nice showing for the 'Oro' in 2008, but give it some time to evolve in bottle over the next few years or so.
