Podere Il Palazzino Grosso Sanese Gran Selezione 2018

The Mer Soleil Reserve Chardonnay takes the same coastal fruit and deepens the conversation

even though the other 32 are exactly the same wine

I got Brunello on the brain

herb-tinged finish

Tannins feel fine-grained and tensile

and a distinctly stony Loire minerality

More immediately open than many Clos Saint-Denis at this stage

Juicy and warmly Tuscan

bright and elegantly delicious drinking experience
