RUFFINO Chianti Classico Ducale Oro Riserva Gran Selezione 2015 $36 (92 points)

A dense, powerful red that has shut down, however the aromas indicate some tertiary notes of woodsy underbrush, leather and spice. It settles in with plum, cherry, iron and tobacco flavors before finishing long and fresh. Have faith. Best from 2022 through 2040.
