  • 2009 Renzo Marinai Chianti Classico 94 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG

    Such great value, and drinking so well already, the nose is dark and ripe with berries and a touch of cured meats. The palette is powerful and rich with smooth sweet fruits and a dark ripe finish.

  • 2010 Rocca di Montegrossi Chianti Classico 94 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG

    Violets and leather on the nose with dark cherries and wild raspberry. The palette is fairly tannic, but the tannins are very fine grained and this will probably cellar a bit longer than the average 2010 Chianti Classico. There is a good show of fairly powerful fruit and spice but the finish remains delicate and mineral driven.

  • 2010 Fattoria Poggerino Chianti Classico 93 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG

    A cough mixture and dark fruit nose shows how serious this classico is with a delicate blackberry jam and oak balance. The palette starts with intense sour cherry with bold tannin grips and a spice finish.

    Leather and dark fruit on the nose with balancing new oak and a powerful, powder-tannin palette full of sour cherry with a spicy oak finish.
