Isole Olena, Chianti Classico

Isole Olena, Chianti ClassicoThis is a more opulent vintage, and one that needs time. Broader on the nose, it features a concentrated expression of dark forest fruits and scented violet. Vibrant acidity combines with ripe tannins and well integrated oak. It has energy, layers of cherry fruit, and a savoury character shining on the finish. Dont rush to drink this beauty.

Very firmly structured

Sometimes a little overlooked

and as the following tasting notes suggest

Like the Malconsorts this intensely mineral-driven effort is somewhat less structured than usual though it certainly doesn’t lack for power and punch

toast and crushed rock

cedar and dark-berry aromas and flavors

vanilla and dark fruits

The more mineraldriven and slightly more refined medium weight flavors evidence fine length on the intensely lemony

This should drink well both young and with 6 to 8 years of age on it

that is good

floral and blood orange flavors that are woven together into a fabric of total class
