2015 Fontodi Chianti Classico
4/29/2024 - Skotto Likes this wine: 91 Points
3 bottles over past 6 months. Evolving nicely, it has a long life ahead. Straight from the bottle, fresh slightly tart cherry, acidity and very present tannin. With a 2-3hr decant, the wine really starts to show its stuff: characteristic black cherry that’s so addictive, leather, sweet tobacco. Acidity mellows and tannins are still present. Will try to hold my last bottles a few more years or pair them with rich red meat after a few hours in the decanter. This is a really great bottling from a great vintage and my current benchmark for Chianti Classico.

Decanter 1 hr. Beautiful wine. Nose so so seductive of wintergreen mint and herbs. Complex and characteristic. Quality stuff. Would def buy again.

2018 Dominus Napanook Red

Ignoring my last note, popped this with a quick decant and some steaks. This is way too young and doesn’t present the best QPR today, but I’m very confident there’s a flip coming in another 5-10 years when secondary notes come in. This wine is all about quality, finesse and restraint and has potential to be 95+ with time.
