FONTODI CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA VIGNA DEL SORBO 2015

Tuscany.
u. 3 x bn. 1 x marked label.

First, the wine shows a beautiful appearance that is thick and dark but allows for just enough ambient light to make it shine with ruby rays from deep inside. Then you have the bouquet that presents a solid wall of interwoven and ultimately beautifully balanced aromas. There is dark fruit, tobacco, leather, spice and polished river stone. Lastly, the mouthfeel reveals a similar level of extreme flavor equilibrium with very fine but still very young tannins. That mid-weight structure, matched to the wine's natural acidity, is a major guarantee of longevity. October 2018 Drink: 2020-2045 WA 96+
