Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Blend of 50% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, deep Ruby red with fresh red berry aromas and some herb spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum, cacao and licorice. Fine tannins, medium+ finish, good balance with acidity, ending with tobacco and oak on the finish. — 4 months ago

Rich nose and rich dry dark fruit upfront. But it remained one dimensional. — 6 years ago

G and I both like. Doesn't usually happen. Dry like a cab. Not heavy. — 8 years ago

The 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Le Bolle offers plenty of immediacy and overall appeal. A burst of sweet dark red cherry, plum, rose petal, lavender, sweet spice and cedar makes a strong opening statement. The 2019 is not super-complex, but it makes up for that with its overall charm.

Not bad but for riserva I would have expected some clearer fruit characters as opposed to the mixed general red fruit present. — 8 years ago

Lithe and soft. Exceedingly soft with a nice burst of fruit on the midpalate. Moderate spice on the juicy finish. — 9 years ago

Very smooth with lots of earth and some tannins. Dark fruit- black plum, black cherry, maybe some tabacco overtones. Very nice wine. — 5 years ago
