Chianti Classico Ceniprimo Gran Selezione Barone Ricasoli 2019 (750ML)

99 points, James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com: “This has an intensely perfumed nose of lavender, sandalwood, dried cherries, blueberries, creme de cassis, bay leaves, walnuts and stones. Full-bodied with polished, well-integrated tannins and a layered, silky and concentrated core of spiced and herbed fruit. Long. Intense. Fantastic already, but better in 2026.” 07/22

96 points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: “Super spicy from the aromas through the finish, this red is sleek and taut. Features strawberry, currant, cherry and earth flavors, peppery spices and a kick of vanilla on the firm finish. Though delicate, there is no lack of intensity. Best from 2025 through 2042. 916 cases made, 60 cases imported.” Web
