Fontodi, Chianti Classico 2006

Deep red.

Vinturi - savory toasted hazelnut, earth, crancherry and spice nose. Nice depth and lift. PFG.

Intensely flavored, partly a result of strongish acidity brightening everything from the get go. Mid-palate shows good stuffing, then acidity really puts the mouth into lock down. But cherry flavors re-emerge late. Needs cellar time, maybe quite a bit (5-8+ years?).
