And this was a classic Riserva, with more marked, fine-quality oak and deeper black cherry. Mid-deep garnet with a hint of rim brick. Dark …
897. Barone Ricasoli, Brolio Chianti Classico, 2011
A lovely, and I think classically-styled Chianti Classico. Mid-deep ruby. Clay-earth minerality, cappuccino oak and cedar. Fresh and dried red cherry. Herbal lift. Medium …
811. Fontodi, Vigna del Sorbo Chianti Classico Riserva, 2010

519. Fattoria La Peschiera, Morellino di Scansano, 2004
I’d heard good things about the Morellino DOC, so when I spotted one in the Italian local to Chemistry, I thought I’d give it …
