2006 Chianti Rufina Riserva Vigneto Bucerchiale, Fattoria Selvapiana
I guess, my fifth bottle of this, and this show more maturity. Last bottle was almost three years ago and that felt like it had stuffing for many years to come. This bottle has peaked. But it shows very well though, with a deep, round, mature nose with notes of cooked cherries, forest floor, tobacco, dried rosemary and leather. A fine dried up sweetness. Very, very good.
The taste is velvety and fine with a dry backbone and notes of bonfire smoke, ripe cherries, tobacco, Christmas spices and Tuscan gravel. Long and warm. Judging from this bottle I should drink my remaining bottles within a year or two.
