Last night with flank steak braised in red wine I opened one of my last bottles of 1995 Selvapiana Bucerchiale Chianti Rufina Riserva. Still dark red with a bit of brick and pink at the rim. Nose of dark wooddsy notes and leather with black cherry. First impression on the palate is cherry and cedar then a bit of mint on the finish. Remarkable acidity and a finish full of tannic grip. "B"

Very nice, Bill. I purchased a couple of the '04, which is a birthyear wine for our son. Good to know that this wine has that sort of longevity to it.
