Chianti Rùfina Sangiovese Blend
Chianti Rùfina, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
Deep ruby; medium plus intensity aromas of ripe blackberry, black plum, black cherry, dried purple flowers, underbrush; dry, medium plus acid, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, medium plus intensity flavors consistent with aromas, flavors more tart than the overripe aromas; medium finish, nothing about this wine says “Chianti” to me, very confusing

Excellent! Impossible to beat at $9. Similar notes to 2 years ago. Aging gracefully and no rush to drink.

Color of bubbly purple mixed with ruby. Nose of tobacco leaves, sweet vanilla, grape jelly, a bit minty, strength of alcohol, and some more tobacco leaves. Taste follows the nose with addition of soft tannins, and burned woody note, just a tiny bit sweet, some more peppery note, black cherry, and a bit minty and zesty. Aftertaste of more peppery taste, some chocolate, ripe grapes, and medium long. Well balanced at this stage. Enjoy her now.

Another excellent btl. Beautiful sangiovese nose of stewed tomato, wild strawberry, blood orange, rosemary....On the palate: good acidity and density, wild strawberry and pomegranate molasses. Soft chalky tannin on the finish. Very good, and calling the qpr excellent is ridiculous understatement ($9/btl!).

This easily comps to a $25 plus bottle. Black cherry, smoke, tar, and earth. Amazing value!
