WineScores' Review

The Riserva tier is the second highest level of Chianti Classico wines after Gran Selezione. This one, from Mazzei has a beautiful parchment wrapped label sealed with a wax insignia.
Ser Lapo doles out aromas of vanilla and cedar, cherries and cigar, pipe tobacco, baking spices and dried roses. As expressive as the nose is fragrant, the palate is fresh and juicy with red fruit underscored by leather, dark cocoa, tobacco fine spice flavours. The tannins are gritty, the structure and balance are in check.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
