2015 Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione, Tuscany, Italy

Firm, somewhat herbaceous-vegetable, earthy and bacony aroma of red and a little black berries with tobacco aromas, hints of meat and dried herbs. Ripe, tart, somewhat juicy fruit with nutty wood aromas, youthful, still slightly sandy tannins and herbaceous nuances, a hint of citrus zest on the palate, tobacco and sooty traces in the background, salty mineral hints, still rather undeveloped, good persistence, certain power and warmth, gains significantly in freshness and depth with air, very good, taut, herbaceous-juicy finish with lots of pull. Definitely needs to mature
