Felsina "Rancia" Chianti Classico Riserva 2001

Red, some rust at rim.

Iron, earth, leather, hazelnut, with red rasp/cherry underneath. Effortless aromatic complexity.

Definitely a ripped middle-weight in the mouth. Taut start to finish, with flavors similar to the nose, only more muted. This needs some savory meat. Another Italian red that is a fine antidote to the creamy, fruit-stupid wines coming from all corners of the earth these days.
