James Suckling
Black cherry, bark and earth on the nose with some dark-mushroom character. It’s full-bodied with very soft tannins and a juicy, savory finish. Wet-earth and forest-floor character comes through nicely at the finish. Drink or hold.

Vinous
The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Ser Lapo is a powerful, wild wine. Crushed flowers, game, herbs and licorice notes give the 2018 its distinctly savory, earthy personality. Brooding in feel, the 2018 will benefit from a few years in bottle. Most of this fruit comes from Mazzei's Caggio property, the site that informs the new Ipsus wine. In my view, Ser Lapo is the hidden gem in the Mazzei range, and the wine I would most like to drink, if forced to chose just one Chianti Classico in the lineup.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Mazzei 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Ser Lapo is a plump and fruit-forward wine from a vintage that saw alternating moments of cool and hot that caressed the fruit into a slightly more ripened and softened overall state. This is a mid-weight wine with plenty of dark fruit and blackberry. On second nose, the wine offers savory tones of leather, spice and tar. This darker and heavier approach might do well if paired with game meat or a Tuscan stew of wild boar. Best After 2022
