Il Molino di Grace Il Margone Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2016
Tuscany, ItalyThis has a gorgeous, lifted nose that still shows a good core of fruit, intertwined with mature, tertiary notes after additional time in bottle. Dried cherries and red plums are layered with dried lavender, humus, and sandalwood, with a balanced accent of toasted spices after aging 16 months in a combination of French barriques and tonneaux. The powdery tannins are nicely resolved at this stage, and it's certainly in its prime drinking window, though will hold for another 3-4 years. Far from heavy, this is a bright, juicy Gran Selezione, more medium-bodied than full, which will pair beautifully with braised beef ragu on pappardelle.Tasted: 20 November 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Il Molino di Grace Il Margone Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2016
Tuscany, ItalyMade from organically grown, dry farmed sangiovese, this Chianti Classico Gran Selezione has spent 16 months in French barriques and tonneaux, followed by three years of bottle ageing. Showing a garnet hue with brick rim, it opens with brooding dark notes of leather and tobacco layered with the tanginess of cherry and sundried tomato. A nice backbone of tight acidity and sinewy tannins confirms its provenance, as does the rich core of red and dark fruit. A wine of exceptional complexity and structure with the ability to age further gracefully.Tasted: 25 March 2023Tasted by: Prices:
