Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. Elegant, full, harmonious, and persistent with suggestions of vanilla and raspberry. Long and velvety, full, generous, and warm.

Wine Spectator: 93 Points

"This powerful red is hallmarked by forthcoming aromas of black cherry, blackberry, iron, tar and tobacco. Burly tannins prowl in the background as this unfurls to a long, detailed finish. Balanced in a broad-shouldered way. Best from 2024 through 2035." The Wine Spectator, 93 Points

Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points

"Tar, stone and the umami of mushrooms, seaweed and soy sauce open the nose of this wine before juicier sour cherries and cranberries emerge. The palate has black cherries, blackberries, milk and dark chocolate, with bitter orange at the back. Well integrated with nice length." The Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points

Wine Advocate: 91 Points

"From a cooler vintage coming after the scorching hot previous year, the 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva has soft contours and lots of bright fruit with cherry, cassis and wild plum. This is a medium-weight Sangiovese with bright acidity. It ends with earthy notes of iris and blue flower. " The Wine Advocate, 91 Points

James Suckling: 91 Points

"A spicy nose with cherries, dried herbs, bark, baking spices and dried earth. Medium- to full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Structured, with a powdery texture on the center-palate and a chewy finish. Better from 2024." James Suckling, 91 Points
