1959 Fossi Chianti Classico Riserva

[winecollector]

I opened my oldest bottle in the cellar last Saturday night at dinner, and was expecting the worst. Not so! Though the wine was beyond peak, it was still drinkable, and even enjoyable. Also, after about a half an hour, the wine really started to come to life with the hot sausage calazones we were all having (now wishing I had more.) I do have plenty of the 74' left, and it's going to be enjoyed immensely!
