3. Castello di Leccia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Bruciagna (2010)

« Prev Next » 3 of 6

Minty, mossy and high toned on the nose with a whisper of volatility enlivening very lively, cool, crunchy fruit. Bright, precise, and transparent, this is all fresh red fruit and nervous acids in the mouth. Showing shows a faint blueberry shadings on the palate, along with that core of bright raspberry fruit, this is clean, if slightly rustic with great, crisp tannins and a moderately long, complex finish featuring hints of minerals, old books, and a touch of dried leather. Could be a bit longer but really very attractive and totally in my wheelhouse. 92pts
