Cherry Point

Castello di Monsanto

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2020

Popped and poured; enjoyed over four days and fairly consistent throughout. The 2020 Riserva pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart red fruit: raspberry, Morello cherry, red plum, black tea, red flowers, dried green herbs, and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Drink now through 2035 easy. — 9 months ago

Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga

Riserva Rancia Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2010

These are now required purchases in any good CC year. Cherry-wood nose, some oak. Velvety dark cherry fruit, light on the acid but just enough to frame the beautiful core of toasty oak, baking chocolate, dark earth. Years to go. — 8 years ago

Bodegas Faustino

Gran Reserva Faustino I Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2001

A very solid Rioja, meaty, dripping in fruit and spice. Nicely balanced at this point with room to get better. Not sure it deserves the 97 points doled out by decanter, however. Pleasant and the right price. — 11 years ago
