Concentrated, vivid fruit to this, with an intense nose of morello cherries, cassis, baked strawberries, grilled herbs, licorice and semi-dried tomatoes. Lemon zest, too. Medium-to full-bodied with ripe, integrated tannins. Long and delicious. Fantastic depth and energy.

Eucalyptus and iron accents frame the core of cherry and raspberry fruit in this intense, powerful red. Strikes a balance between fruit and savory elements, with plenty of ripe fruit midpalate, followed by a long finish of mineral, underbrush and tobacco. Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino. Best after 2024.

The 2017 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Il Poggio is silky, open-knit and gracious. More importantly, it shows terrific freshness and transparency for a wine from this dry, torrid year. Crushed red berry fruit, kirsch, spice, leather, tobacco and incense lend nuance throughout. The 2017 can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring, but will also age effortlessly for decades. If opened young, the 2017 will benefit from a few hours of air.
