Deep Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, floral, citrus and smoky oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and plum flavors with floral notes, cacao, tobacco and toasty notes from 18 months of oak aging. Fine ripe sweet tannins, long finish ending with fruit and an earthy smoky spice character. Nice! Will age!

This wine never disappoints. Antinori always produces a solid chianti. 2008 is absolutely perfect right now.

Powerful oak flavors, silky tannins and black fruit. Ultimately makes a great Sunday evening wine!

Now Gran Selezione. Showing its age all around. Considerably more even keeled, effortless mouth feel, soft tannins, dusty raisin finish, acidity dying down. Could go longer!

Very nice bottle, starting to lose that standard cherry flavor and turning more earthy and floral. I guess 600 years of winemaking knowledge really helps make kick ass vino.
