Frescobaldi Castello di Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva 2000
Tuscany, ItalyGreat dark cherry colour. Ripe cherry plum jam, almond tobacco aromas with spicy/vanilla/licorice notes. Rich and round but dry with some defined tannins which will require 3 years to soften. Good acidity with big spicy, peppery, black cherry, sour boysenberry smoky game flavours. The best yet we've tasted from Nipozzano. Elegant and good value.Tasted: 08 September 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $22.95 | 750ml | General Listing |
