Dieser Chianti, von dem namhaften Produzenten Isole e Olena hat am meisten enttäuscht an unserer Chianti Degu. Seine sehr helle Farbe hat schon auf ein Leichtgewicht hingedeutet. Die Nase war jedoch wieder sehr ansprechend mit Himbeer-Noten. Enttäuscht wurde der Gaumen. Die vordergründige Säure wurde durch nichts ausgewogen. Sehr dünn und fast schon wässrig. Enttäuschender Abgang. …die hohe Erwartungshaltung dürfte die Enttäuschung noch verstärkt haben.
Parker: The 2013 Chianti Classico wears oversized aromas of dark fruit and cherry that suit the wine very nicely. This is an outwardly generous and beautifully intense wine that mirrors all the high qualities of this celebrated vintage. Red fruit notes of cherry and cassis are woven within a greater context that sees crushed mineral and spice. The growing season was slow and steady leading to perfectly ripe fruit. Isole e Olena adds a bit of Canaiolo to the Sangiovese and those deep, dark fruit elements of the added grape come out strongly in this vintage.
There is no way not to be totally overwhelmed by the stunning beauty of the tiny twin hamlets of Isole and Olena that straddle either side of this historic property. Paolo De Marchi's enthusiastic and engaging personality defines the landmark set of wines before you.
Antonio Galloni: The 2013 Chianti Classico brings together the fresh aromatics of a cool year along with lovely mid-palate pliancy. The flavors are bright, high-toned and decidedly leaning towards the red-fruit end of the spectrum. Crushed flowers, herbs and anise grace the soft, aromatic finish. The overall impression is of lovely mid-palate juiciness, even if the technical stats suggest a lighter-bodied wine. That is why wine can never be measured by numbers alone. Rain in September decimated the Syrah harvest. The little bit that was salvaged was used in the Chianti Classico.
