I tried this Ruffino Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico Riserva 2005 last night – a gift from a friend. It was a nice, good chaniti. Here’s how the LCBO describes it:

Bright ruby colour; dried cherry fruit, cinnamon spice, leather and floral notes on the nose; dry, medium to full bodied, dried cherry, earthy/mushroom and plum flavours with firm, chalky tannins and a a long spicy finish.
