1980 chianti

[Kcwhippet]

First a bit of history. Way back when, Barone Ricasoli was the prime minister of Italy, and it was he who was largely responsible for the official demarcation of the Chianti Classico region. That said, his winery makes some very nice wines, but they really aren't made to last 23 years. With very good storage it just might still be marginally drinkable, but don't bet the farm on it. Current vintages go for abot $10 to $12.
