if not completely cleaned up to where the reduction was more of a nuance rather than dominating the ripe dark currant

all wrapped in a wonderfully long and pure finish

rounded and sensual with black cherries

pepper and earthy notes

elegant and seamless of the two

Fontodi, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Sorbo Size:6x1.5L if not completely cleaned upJust as it was last year, the 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo is magnificent. Dark, brooding and reticent, the 2016 is not ready to show all it's got. If anything, the 2016 is even more reticent than it was last year at this time. Vigna del Sorbo has a great track record for aging. I have no doubt the 2016 will blossom in bottle, but that is not going to happen anytime soon. Antonio Galloni
