Tannins were well integrated. Got better after an hour in decanter. Earthy tones and dark red cherry fruit with a touch of earth. Yummy. May not get better with time but damn good now.

Encore une fois excellent. Souple et suave, long et complexe. Toujours délicieux, un de mes vins fétiches... c'est ce vin qui m'a fait découvrir les super Toscans en 1995!

Notes of cedar, tobacco, pencil lead, sweet blackberry, dark cherry, savory herbs, espresso, and subtle forest floor. Pure and elegant. High minerality and salinity. Understated and lighter in weight compared to other vintages. Acidity was biting initially, but it improved over the course of 3 hours. After spending several weeks in Chianti, it seems like many of the top Gran Selezione wines are chasing this style.

(Antinori Tignanello) Very dark purple red violet color; rich berry, black currant, ripe black fruit nose; tight, tart black fruit, espresso, cedar palate with good acidity; needs 6-plus years to fully integrate; medium-plus finish (80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc)

Fantastic. Dark cherry/ tobacco taste. Can still taste fruit. Subtle tannins
