Mazzei Philip Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

A long lasting bond unites the Mazzei family with Tuscany and wines since the XI century.Ser Lapo Mazzei is the author of the first known document to use the Chianti denomination in 1398; in 1435, when his granddaughter Madonna Smeralda Mazzei married Piero di Agnolo da Fonterutoli, the holding became part of the family's estate. Since then, for 24 generations, the Mazzei family produces wine at Castello di Fonterutoli, which even after its recent expansion still remains the beating heart of the company.

Deep, dark purple in colour. Black cherry, balsamic herbs, coffee and lightly toasted oak. Flavors of dark fruit, dried flowers, chocolate and vanilla. Exotic, complex character, full bodied with polished, velvety tannins, and a long, smooth finish.

94 points, James Suckling.
