Mazzei Fonterutoli Chianti Classico 2015, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$23.95
? 2019+2021+??? or gift
A pure streak of raspberry and peony marks this elegant red, with accents of black pepper, earth, graphite and tobacco. Firm, stretching out on the finish, showing echoes of fruit, earth and mineral. Best from 2019 through 2033. Score - 93. (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, Dec. 13, 2017).
...Dec/20-Jan/21....drank 2 and quite enjoyed...maybe a little on the soft side but flavourful
March 2021....had with Leveto's alla vodka
on the first night the kids moved in (3/12/21)..in its twilight I thought but good! (fair amount of sediment)

Sept, 2019....took to Smitty's cottage, was quite enjoyed.
Oct, 2021....had with cabbage rolls, lovely CdR, sorry I didn't try it sooner, but still has life. Last one should be had within 6 months from now (April/22).
April 2022....once again, love this wine. A medium bodied beauty, very smooth and flavourful. With salmon melts, went fine. No hesitation to buy again. Great value.
