(SELVAPIANA BUCERCHIALE CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA) #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-very interesting powdered Cinnamon mixed w/ blackberry jam; hint of English peas; very subtle sweaty armpit; TASTE-serious lushness; this wine is what it's all about; enormous complexity; beautiful, luscious fruit; so pure & delicious; massive smoked hickory beefy flavors on the mid-palate which transitions gorgeously, to long, luscious fruit flavors (the best & purest fruit jam you've ever had in your life); the Cinnamon comes back on the finish; I love this wine; IWC-93; GV-93+

Light, refreshing, pleasant strawberry fruit. But too much tannin for me.

Darker than expected. Still drinking well. Tannic. Fruit has faded a bit. Pretty good, but holding longer probably won't help much.

The wine has changed character since my last bottle several years ago. Raisins and currants are predominant flavors. Has some complex nuances and finishes with a bit of coffee grounds. Interesting but found prior bottle a better drinker. Suggest pairing with food.

Just as good as I remember it. Loads of fruit up front and lots of tannic punch yet. This will hold for another 5-10 years. Paired well with black pepper burgundy leg of lamb.

Ripe....ready to drink now. Wonderful nose and great mouthful of flavors like licorice and flowers with spices.
