2019 Barone Ricasoli Chianti Classico Roncicone Gran Selezione

"The aromas and structure to this single vineyard Chianti Classico are something else this year. The orange-peel, meat and cherry aromas are lifted and spirited. It's medium-bodied with firm, chewy tannins that are dusty and fine-grained. Structured and sturdy with a granite-like presence. Try after 2025, but impressive to taste." 07/22 " Review Date: June 2022

"This spicy red is introduced with a blast of bright cherry fruit, along with strawberry, currant, eucalyptus and tobacco notes. Reveals an underlying mineral element, and dusty tannins present on the finish. All the components are there. Best from 2025 through 2043. 916 cases made, 60 cases imported." - Bruce Sanderson Review Date: September 2022
