Full-bodied, yet the precise, fine tannins just melt into the glass and spread wide across the palate. A gorgeous wine. Drink or hold."

Decanter’s review, with a score of 91, notes the unique terroir of the Roncicone vineyard, characterized by sandy soil with marine fossils and rounded stones. Harvested on 6 September, it was the first of Ricasoli’s crus to be picked. The wine is described as the ripest and most oak-influenced of the lot, led by "macerated cherry, blackberry, vanilla and toast," with "intriguing mineral notes" lurking underneath. The wine is full, rich, and approachable, with broad, grainy tannins and soft acidity.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gives it a score of 93, describing it as "balanced and bright with plenty of fruit, spice, flower and potting soil." The wine is praised for its balance and precision, making it an excellent companion to a Tuscan spezzatino or beef stew. The tannins are noted as especially fine and well-integrated despite the hot vintage.

Vinous also scores it 91, highlighting its "supple, fruity" nature with "sweet red cherry fruit, cedar, spice and tobacco." Antonio Galloni notes that it offers immediacy and appeal, with sweet floral notes lingering on a polished finish, recommending it for near-term enjoyment.

Wine Enthusiast scores it 92, pointing out the "spice, rose and wild berry aromas" that waft from the glass. The palate is described as austere, with polished tannins supporting flavors of cranberry, sour cherry, espresso, and licorice. Kerin O'Keefe suggests drinking it between 2023 and 2029.

Overall, the 2017 Barone Ricasoli Roncicone Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is a well-received wine, noted for its aromatic complexity, balanced structure, and rich flavor profile.
