There?s lots of clove character here but the fruit really shines through offering up intense hibiscus orange rind cranberries Thai basil and dark chocolate. Full-bodied and really structured and refined with an agile core of red berries and savory undertones. Long but minerally on the finish. Drink from 2024.

The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Brolio is a beautiful wine dense rich and lasting. The bouquet is intense and profound with layers of red and purple fruit that cede softly to spice leather and sweet tobacco. The classic 2016 vintage is characterized by its freshness precision and cellar-worthiness. You get all those qualities here in one very elegant but also food-friendly package. The wine is made with 95% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and grapes come from a south-facing parcel at an ideal 250 to 450 meters above sea level. Some 50000 bottles were produced.

Aromas and flavors of iron leather and earth swirl around the core of plum and black cherry in this broad-shouldered red. Dusty tannins congregate on the finish where the flavors echo. Best from 2023 through 2037.
