Frescobaldi Castello di Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva 2008
Tuscany, ItalyThis wine has proven it can age effortlessly so enjoy its spicy, black liquorice, meaty, peppery, black cherry nose but give some time to really impress. On the palate you will note a sense of freshness and elegance along with smoky, meaty, tobacco, prune, peppery, black cherry, orange peel and dried fig flavours. Fine intensity you can enjoy now with beef dishes or mushroom risotto or wait five to seven years for it to mellow out.Tasted: 05 February 2013Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
