Mazzei Fonterutoli Chianti Classico 2015, Docg

? 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

on the first night the kids moved in (3/12/21)..in its twilight I thought but good! (fair amount of sediment)
