TUSCANY ANTINORI TENUTA TIGNANELLO RISERVA CHIANTI CLASSICO 2022 DOCG

IL MOLINO DI GRACE CHIANTI CLASSICO 2023 DOCG

... As far as 2023 is concerned the combination of freshness and structure are about as connected as it gets. A Pietraforte meets Galestro mineral juiciness that bleeds terroir, Panzano and the purity of sangiovese. No reduction, nor volatility neither ... Drink 2026-2032. Tasted at The Chianti Classico Collection, February 2025. Score: 93 (Michael

The 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva Marchese Antinori is terrific. Soft and pliant, with fabulous balance, the 2022 is a total charmer. Antinori’s style today, one that favors a lighter hand than in the past, works so well here. Succulent red cherry, spice, new leather and rose petal are front and center. All of this fruit is from Antinori’s Tignanello property. It captures all the essence of site in a more approachable style that is undeniably appealing. Drinking window: 2025-2034.

LUCE 2022 IGT Toscana (Luce della Vite) There are Super Tuscans – and then there are true Super Tuscans. Luce, an impeccable blend of Sangiovese and Merlot, falls squarely into the latter category. It delivers refined power, with the firm- ness and structure of Sangiovese balancing the more boisterous and juicier Merlot component. The result is an impression of dark fruit and minerals atop a silky structure. The wine’s overall impression is assertive without being flamboyant. Tuscan acidity amplifies its appeal while keeping it fresh and lively. A captivating hint of bitterness in the finish reminds us that it is serious wine. Amazingly seductive now, I’m sure it will evolve beautifully over the coming years.

ARGENTIERA VILLA DONORATICO BOLGHERI ROSSO 2022 DOC

I like the currant and tar aromas with some bayleaf that follow through to a medium body, with creamy and polished tannins that give this depth and intensity. Very polished palate. Drink or hold [into early 2030s]. Score: 94 (jamessuckling.com, July 24, 2024) Full-bodied & Firm 45844 (XD) 750 ml $59.95 2 Featured in ’Tis Your Season
