2019 Barone Ricasoli Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Brolio

fantastic chianti. I love it. Loads of red fruit. Cherry, balsamico Sangiovese acidity. Long and deep. Good tannins. Fine minerality. Well balanced and complex. Will last for many years but I think it's best right now with the fresh fruit.2 bottles left but I will by some more to drink them young.

Decant for 1 hour. Very good. Full body, rich, fruity, dark. Lots of vanilla and red fruit mostly cassis. Little leather and licorice. Perfect now. I would not cellar it any longer. It can easily be in the cellar for some years but I would not risk to loose the fruit. the only downside is that it might be a bit jammy.
It smells like raspberry, black currant (cassis), cherry, vanilla and cedar. It tastes like black currant (cassis), cedar and vanilla. The body is full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity.

At a perfect spot right now. I would not keep this anymore. Fruit is soon going down fast. Fantastic at the moment.
The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), mineral, vanilla, lead pencil, cedar, black pepper and alcohol/hot.
