Substitute wine for our Piccolomini. Pretty good. — 5 years ago
Very tasty wine. — 8 years ago
Decanted two hours,
NOSE: dark berries, fresh herbs (mint and bright tobacco), a whiff of mocha. Mild, but pretty darn good.
TASTE: lovely. Cocoa plus both savoury and baking herbs - not much fruit. Like a lighter and more elegant Rioja. 91.
EDIT: I see now that I tried this exact wine two years ago and didn’t like it at all. I presume the difference is the two years of age and the long decant. Maybe the last bottle was off also, who knows - or I was. Anyway, wow - what a difference! — 2 years ago

My first Gran Selezione - very exciting and this wine definitely lived up to all the hype. Bold bramble berries with juicy plum and a hint of tobacco. Even more special that it’s 2019 but this stays in the cellar at least another three years. Acquired through Molesini Wine club — 6 months ago
