2010 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Il Grigio, San Felice

I have previously tasted 1976, 1978 and 1988 Il Grigio from San Felice and I noted that the monopoly had the 2010. Lets test drive one bottle.

2010 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Il Grigio, San Felice
With some air, it evolve a fine, old style Sangiovese nose with notes of sweet/sour cherries, a Tuscan gravel road, violets, dry leather and rosemary. It has a fine warmth. Some raspberry liquorice after a while. Really good.
The taste is young, tight and structured with notes of cherry pips,  warm rosemary, gravel, violets and a long, long, taut finish. A lovely mouth feel. This I like, and it will evolve nicely. More bottles are on their way.
