Isole e Olena, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione other_regions_australia at least on this showing

at least on this showing - it has velvety tannins that pack a punch

the 2013 has enough mid-palate generosity to drink well with minimal cellaring

airy and transparent as the stony influence of the site is easily seen through the red berry fruit aromas and continues onto the pretty

size and weight to the big-bodied and muscular flavors that terminate in a balanced and impressively long finale that could again use better depth

An outstanding wine

Isole e Olena, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione other_regions_australia at least on this showingThe 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is breathtaking. Beautifully ripe, deep and expressive, the 2013 has it all, deep fruit, stunning aromatic presence and tremendous structure. Black cherry, pomegranate, rose petal, mint and lavender all meld together in this super expressive, resonant Chianti Classico. An absolutely killer wine, the Gran Selezione is a fabulous, contemporary expression of Chianti Classico at its very finest. Drops of Cabernet
