Barone Ricasoli Rocca Guicciarda Chianti Classico Riserva 2007 Bottle
Barone Ricasoli Rocca Guicciarda Chianti Classico Riserva 2007
Tuscany, Italy
$24.95

First attempt at Chianti was a great one ! Really enjoyed the complexity of this wine. Decanted for an hour and a half before I started enjoying it. Tasted even better after 2 hours. Clearly made for drinking with food, especially cheese. Tasted March 2013

Intense and fragrant are great qualifiers of this Gewurtz of high quality but I found it so sweet and viscous it almost felt like driking an ice wine. Tasted January 2013.

First time I tried a Chateauneuf-du-Paope and I was very impressed. Very smooth, full-bodied wine, with a perfectly balanced blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah grapes. Tasted November 2013.

Excellent Chateauneuf du Pape, enjoyable without need for much decanting. Very smooth and decent depth. No bitterness left and limited tannins compared to the 2015 reviews. Tasted December 2019.

Stayed very tannic even after 2-3 hours of decanting. I was expecting a lot more for this Brunello at this price point. Tasted December 2017.
