This has exceptional depth and richness. Such detail, concentration and intense dark fruit, pervading every corner of the palate. The depth, the richness and the layered, long tannins here are stunning. Really exceptional wine that delivers long and rich, flavorsome resolve. Drink or hold. |

This is super saturated on the nose and palate. Such rich and ripe dark-fruit flavors make for a compelling nose, packed with black fruit. The palate has a succulent, deep and fleshy feel with impressively ripe, sinewy tannins, holding long. Drink or hold. |

Lornano |
Chianti Classico Gran Selezione |
At these levels of archetypal consistency, balance and integrity, Chianti is certainly not second to none. But only where its colour is of the same untouched blackish ardour, only where its pulp is that so dense as not to leave even a bright ray pierce, especially where its palatal softness is so seductively perfect, so admirably and spherically round, despite the power of its majestic pair of acidity/tannin. A cream of blackberry in pure and viscous pulp whose wonderful spices make it even more balsamic, vanilla and exquisite. A top champion in viticulture and oenology. Chapeau. |
