The warm 2015 growing season is known for plump, succulent and exuberant Tuscan reds, and you get all those attributes here. However, the bouquet is very focused and chiseled with sharp cherry, cranberry and dark plum aromas. Dark spice, pressed rose and potting soil are also protagonists of the genuine and straight-shooting bouquet. ~92 Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva Ser Lapo is a wine of power and breadth. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries, chalk and white pepper all give the 2015 a distinctive sense of brightness that plays off the richness of the fruit very nicely. A closing burst of bright acid and tannin adds energy. I would give the 2015 at least a few years to come together, as it is presently tightly wound and not fully expressive. ~91 Vinous Media\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e***Free shipping on 6 or more bottles of this wine***\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mazzei","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32852420001895,"sku":"MASLCC15","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0150\/0646\/products\/2014-mazzei-ser-lapo-chianti-classico-riserva-1_c403f82c-e808-4ed0-a9db-cd04168f2e9b.jpg?v=1605981841","url":"https:\/\/www.bighammerwines.com\/es\/products\/2015-mazzei-ser-lapo-chianti-classico-riserva","provider":"BigHammerWines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
