Mazzei Ser Lapo Riserva Chianti Classico 2020

Notes of glazed cherries and ripe raspberries with candied orange peel, red licorice and hints of violets. Medium- to full-bodied with chocolaty texture and firm, but polished tannins. Shows depth and richness to its fruit. Compact and lengthy. Chalky finish. Drink or hold [until 2030]. Score – 94. (jamessuckling.com, Aug. 7, 2023)
