The 1997 Boscarelli (a barrique-aged blend of 93% Sangiovese and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon) offers up aromas of tobacco as well as spicy cherry, strawberry, and red currant fruit. Long, elegant, and sweet, with firm tannin, and an overall sense of restraint and balance, it should be consumed over the next 7-8 years.
