2013 Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione

Vininformation

95 point, Wine Spectator: "Austere and still reticent, this intense red nonetheless has the hallmarks of a terrific Chianti Classico, saturated with black cherry, black currant, olive, cedar and tobacco flavors that stand up to the beefy tannins. The vibrant acidity keeps this fluid and long. Best from 2020 through 2035."

95 point og "Outstanding", Decanter: "It's great to see the hugely influential and innovative Antinori family still leading the field with this beautifully balanced and seductively silky wine. Very fine perfume and intensity, no resting on laurels here".

95 point, JamesSuckling.com: "This is very dense, showing the ripeness of the 2013. Chocolate, black truffles and bark. Black cherries galore, too. Full-bodied, round and dense tannins and a flavorful finish. Better in 2020 but already gorgeous."

94 point, RobertParker.com: "The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Badia a Passignano is a pure expression of Sangiovese. This wine is distinguished by a beautiful level of openness and softness (on the Sangiovese spectrum, which means you also get a bright dose of acidity). The wine offers beautiful balance between its dark fruit and savory spice comments."

94 point, Vinous.com: "The 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Badia a Passignano is remarkable wine in many ways. For starters, the 2013 is the first vintage of the Badia a Passignano done entirely in cask and in a more refined style than was the norm in the past, when this wine was rather bombastic. Outrageously beautiful, vivid and voluptuous, the wine is dark and enveloping, with tons of character and remarkable finesse. To be sure, this site will always produce ample, broad wines, but the 2013 is also incredibly elegant."

93 point, DinVinGuide: "100% sangiovese. Flot længde og dybde. Sorte bær, krydderier og vanilje i smagen. Velbalanceret med en lang, fadpræget afslutning."
