This Riserva Chianti Rufina is just about over its peak. Drink it fast while those dried aromas of rose petal, prune and dark plum remain. The wine feels dusty and compact in the mouth and what keeps it alive is the freshness of its natural acidity.

This 60-40 super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese and Merlot offers a smooth and clean quality of berry fruit, cassis and raspberry. You’ll also recognize spice, leather, tobacco and soft chocolate fudge on the close.

From the up-and-coming Chianti Rufina area (an historic wine zone that is currently experiencing a revival of sorts) comes this plush and modern Riserva. The nose generously delivers aromas of black cherry, powdered chocolate and sweet spice.

From the distant 1994 vintage, this Vin Santo blend of Trebbiano and Malvasia has been aged an astonishing 15 years in small oak barrel. You can detect some of that evolution on the bouquet thanks to aromas of dried apricot, marron glacé, maple syrup and candied fruit with cinnamon spice. It’s a sweet, thick wine with great intensity and the potential to age many more years to come.

This Chianti Rufina opens with berry aromas and distant shadings of exotic spice. Although the nose is a bit closed and lacking in intensity, the wine picks up speed in the mouth thanks to the brightness of the acidity.
