  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.

  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.

  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.

  If drinking now, decant for two hours. However, if you can be patient, this will warrant a higher score with 3+ more years in cellar.
