Castello di Meleto Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2019

A balanced nose features sweet cherries, orange blossoms and vanilla, but also sanguine aromas of meat, bricks, pennies and tar. On the palate, that equilibrium continues, and a new tension also emerges as severe tannins and searing acid push up against a polished, silky mouthfeel. Score – 94. (Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 31, 2023)
