Used to be solid.

Castello di Bossi

Riserva Berardo Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2020

Needs some air. Cherry, menthol, and a little peppery spice, maybe fennel? Medium - bodied with soft tannins. Food friendly- had with rustecchiera- Tuscan pork ribs. — 3 months ago

Poggio al Tesoro

Sondraia Bolgheri Superiore Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

Very long finish. I woke up in the middle of the night and could still feel the moment. Licorice and much more — 9 months ago

Le Macchiole

Paleo Bolgheri Cabernet Franc 2007

Smoke, oak, toast, grilled herbs and vegetables. After an hour or so, black fruit emerges. But the tannines are still quite obtrusive. — 3 months ago

Tenuta Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2022

Paired with Bolognese sauce. Nice wine with food. 2022 vintage - really should have been decanted first. Solid depth and good fruit. Tannins hit up front a bit too much. — 3 months ago

Castello di Volpaia

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2020

Ruby in color with aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, vanilla, and earthy hints. Decanting softens the smoky notes, revealing bright red fruit and a touch of licorice. The palate is dry and well-balanced, with smooth tannins, refreshing acidity, and a long, fruity finish. A versatile, well-structured wine that pairs easily with food.

Banfi

Aska Bolgheri Rosso Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc

Very nice Bordeaux blend. Nice spicy aroma with good finish. Peppery at end. Still has tannins and should age for 5-10 years. Vintage. 2020 — 5 months ago

Castello di Ama

Vigneto San Lorenzo Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2010

See previous Note. Old plummie, red cherry notes. Barb said dusty and pine needles. A cooler vintage. I said red cherries and freshly tilled loam. As Galloni said “In 2010 Ama did not bottle their single vineyard selections. All the best fruit went here.” Tasting more the quality of a Brunello than a Chianti Classico. No. 6 in Wine Spectators Top 100 for 2015. — 5 months ago

In 2015, the WS Top 100 meant something. To look at it the last few years it is puzzling. I recently read their website for the criteria they use to come up with their top 100 and all I could do after reading the criteria and seeing their 2024 selections is scratch my head.

@Bob McDonald first vintage of Gran Selezione ever, definitely a good start with the 2010. Great pull!

Tenuta Argentiera

Villa Donoratico Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
