Il Molino Di Grace Il Margone Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2010
Tuscany, Italy$39.95
2020 +2021
Jan 14, 2020.....dinner at Casa Carbone with my sisters & husbands + Andrew, Crystal & Darcy....was nice but not as good as as San Lorenzo which was special. By comparison Grace tasted sweeter, (SL more tart), also more full bodied, On its own probably stands up nice. Of note, I've never been in love with this wine maker...2011 supposed to be even better.

drink from 2019 to 2023 + gift up to 3
2018...gift to Tim Lukenda
Sept 2019....gave to Smitty at cottage
Nov 2021.....strong bold wine, had with bbq steak which is what it needed, enjoyed but had that French flavour that I sometimes not a big fan of. All told, glad I opened it, enjoyed it, but didn't really need to drink again but I will next summer.
June 2023...same as above, till drinkable, finish last one this year (missing one??). Red meat a must!

Poliziano Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 2012, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$31.95

Wine Enthusiast
Made entirely with Sangiovese, this offers aromas of spicy plum, violet, blackberry, toast and a whiff of oak-driven spice. The firmly structured palate delivers black cherry, clove, anise and a note of grilled sage alongside assertive tannins that leave an astringent finish. Give it time to unwind. Drink 2017–2025.

x2018+2020x

October 2019...wow! Loved it! Previous Priorat's I have had have been on the harsher side (need lots of aeration) but this was beautiful from the start. Loved everything about it....smooth & full bodied, tons of flavour. Have with strong flavoured Mediterranean food.
