  May 1, 2024 - Twenty Years On Wines, Some Luxury at Home; 4/19/2024-5/9/2024 (Alicante y Madrid - España): Served by the glass. Castelnuovo Berardenga et Vagliagli subzone. Elegant floral and fruity aromas, soft and delicate. Aristocratic complexity. Palate retains this fineness in the form of a velvety texture with good acidity and length. The purity of the Sangiovese grape. Only a couple of steps below Le Boncie. Excellent.
  
  Servido por copas. Subzona de Castelnuovo Berardenga et Vagliagli. Elegantes aromas florales y frutales, suaves y delicados. Aristocrática complejidad. Al paladar conserva esa finura en forma de una textura aterciopelada con buena acidez y longitud. La pureza de la uva Sangiovese. Sólo un par de peldaños por debajo de Le Boncie. Excelente.

  April 20, 2024 - Pnp. Dark ruby. Black and red cherry, touch of earth and spice. Medium/full bodied. Smooth and denser than most Chianti's I've sampled. Good acidity and firm tannins. Medium length finish. Paired well with meat sauce spaghetti.

  April 10, 2024 - Medium ruby red in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, strawberries & mulberries with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, pine, spices, leather, herbs & a hint of balsamic & cedar notes in the background. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, plums & strawberries with herbs & minerals. Lingering finish. Quite accessible at present with decanting & much needed extended airing & should develop further with additional aging. Very good QPR for a Gran Selezione when found at discount.

  March 19, 2024 - 2 hour decant. Any earlier and you’ll be premature- I tasted every 30 minutes.
  
  This is a really beautiful Chianti.
  
  Has that mild, balsamic-mint nose that quality Sangiovese acquires. Earthy, not floral.
  
  Medium bodied with moderate tannins offset by some syrupy balsamic glazey flavor.
  
  Wish I bought more than 2 bottles. Will drink my final bottle on a special occasion.
