Expert Reviews
Lots of cherries and coffee beans, but also chewy, relatively strong tannins. Medium-to full-bodied, it shows pretty ripe fruit in the center palate, yet remains reserved on the finish. This needs a year or two to soften and come together. Try after 2020.
The Tenuta di Capraia 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Effe 55 shows some age and evolution with tarry spice and campfire ash that add to the grounded medium to almost full-bodied approach of the wine. In fact, this Chianti Classico plays its best cards in terms of texture and mouthfeel.
