93/100 - The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is a youthful medium scarlet color and takes an earthier and spicier profile, with aromas of polished leather, quinine, peppercorn, baked cherry, and cedar. Full-bodied, with good freshness, it offers a polished feel in its velvety rich tannins, mineral undercurrents, and mouthwatering finish. It’s a robust style, but it keeps things well-managed and long on the palate. Drink 2025-2045.

96/100 - Notes of ripe cherries and redcurrants with savory herbs, ground spices and crushed stones. Full and structured with dense and compact tannins that are ripe and well integrated into the wine. Freshened with a steady acidity that gives it crunchiness and highlights the red fruit. I like the texture and length of the wine. Drink or hold.
