Savory, earthy, dried fruits. Rich, lush mouthfeel. Very satisfying.

When scoring a wine, I think it's important to bear in mind the style/varietal as well as the expression. With that out of the way, is like to say this perhaps the best chianti we've ever had. So elegant and structured. Powerful and soft at once. Fragrant nose grabs you right off the bat. Complex and powerful, with a tannic reach and delicious acid tickling the back of the tongue. I suspect this could grow for another 15 years and I only wish we had more in our cellar.

Just for the fact that it was the best Chianti (definitely in the Rufina style) that I can recall having.

Structure...and then some more structure. Light bodied and very aromatic. Nose drives the wine. Fir tree and strawberry.
