2005 Frescobaldi Nipozzano Chianti Reserva, Italy $30
This wine has terrific amount of complexity, with a nose full of black current and dark plums but with an underlining hint of earthiness. The flavors than evolve following the aromas of the nose into a full spectrum of old world styles. Layers of prunes, black cherries and currents start on the tongue and evolve into notes of clove, pencil shavings, and dark chocolate all married together with a rustic richness. This wine would work with a verity of Italian menus but also with pot roast or stewed meats.
