(March, 2020) …<\/strong> <\/em>TUSCANY<\/strong> – The Chianti Lovers tasting is a fairly large tasting of wines (200+) from throughout the Tuscany area that do not qualify under the Classico designation. This year I tasted most of the 2020 and 2019 wines (all but the Superiore) … I tasted 84 wines in total and all of the Riserva wines.<\/p>\n

As a rule I do not score unfinished wines (aka: barrel samples), too much can go wrong between barrel and bottle that can compromise or otherwise change the wine … if that happens that score I give using a barrel sample can come back to bite me in the derriere (so to speak) – so I have just stopped the practice all together. Instead, I use a Good \/ Better \/ Best approach for unfinished wines based on their potential for the future when bottled, this practise has served me well over countless antiprime tastings in the past, and so I do it again here.<\/p>\n

For those looking for scored wines there are 18 finished wines scored at the very bottom.<\/em><\/p>\n
