RUFFINO IL LEO CHIANTI SUPERIORE - 2003

Red Wine Chianti by Ruffino from Tuscany, Italy that retails for around $13.

TASTING NOTES:

Medium red color and body with pleasant red fruit aromas and flavors of cherries, vanilla oak and spice.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

85 PTS
Average wine with a decent mouthfeel and flavor profile. This red is the equivalent of a bar "house wine" that is fair with a meal or appetizers but not a wine you want to enjoy on its own. Short finish and a bit cloying. The alcohol is not "hot" but it is poorly integrated into the wine. Approachable, but not really worth the time or money.
