2023 Antinori Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva

A medium bodied, generously endowed Chianti that finishes savoury and a shade rustic.

Midnight black dark red colour with a dark red hue. Elevated blackcurrant aromas are tied to liquorice, earth, tobacco, vanillin cedar and spicy dried herb notes. The medium bodied palate is generously endowed with red to black currant and dark cherry fruits which meld into a back drop of dusty earth, subtle liquorice, tobacco, dried herbs and spice. Grainy tannins impart a sturdy feel. Concludes medium to long, savoury and a shade rustic.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews…..
A lush and ripe wine with pristine black cherries, pressed violets, subtle black pepper and licorice on the nose. Medium-bodied with brilliant acidity, velvety tannins and a bony finish. Well balanced. Drink or hold.
