2001 Villa di Vetrice CHIANTI RUFINA RESERVA (Tuscany, Italy)


Vetrice is one of my favorite good value sources for Chianti in recent years. This reserva is excellent.

Deep, youthful, sparkling dark ruby. Very elegant nose of spicy, ripe cherries and smokey, earthy scents. Medium-bodied, yet concentrated flavors of earthy cherries and smokey minerals. Lengthy finish with very nice fruit/acid balance. 90. A very good value at $16.50 at Spec's on Smith.

Won a 375 cl bottle in a raffel! Couldn't belive a 10 year old rose could taste so good!
