94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$68 list] The 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva is a big, potent wine that is going to need a number of years to be at its most expressive. Today, I am quite taken by the wine’s sheer heft, which is unusual for an estate where the wines tend to be a bit more restrained than this. Then again, we are in Castelnuovo Berardenga, where the wines can carry quite a bit of volume. Black cherry, game, licorice, menthol, sage and lavender open with a bit of coaxing. This is a super-classic Riserva from one of the most old-school producers in Chianti Classico. Drink: 2025-2040. (Apr 2021)"
