2006 Fattoria Selvapiana Chianti Rùfina Riserva Bucerchiale (Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Rùfina)

Sensational wine. Served this with assorted cheeses, prosciuttos, and appetizers. Beautiful, velvety texture, fantastic earthiness, outstanding character. Ripe black and red cherry flavors all the way laced with dark chocolate and juicy acidity. Drinks well with some air right now, but has the structure to age for quite a number of years. At the lower end of its price range, this wine is a world-beater QPR. Highly recommended.
