Mazzei Fonterutoli Chianti Classico 2009
Tuscany, ItalyEarthy, peppery, smoky, black cherry, leather, floral, plum aromas with a hint of meat. Ripe, round, fresh, juicy palate with light but smooth tannins. Smoky, liquorice root, black plum, earthy, cedar, olive and savoury flavours. A fruity, more forward vintage with good intensity for the medium term. Tough choice against the 2010 which was also delicious.Tasted: 06 August 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Renaissance Wine Merchants |
