97 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$58 list] The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Levigne is another positively stunning wine in this range. Ample and explosive in the glass, with tremendous resonance, the 2017 is off the charts gorgeous. To be sure, the Riserva is a big rich wine, but it also offers plenty of Sangiovese character to please purists. Macerated dark cherry, spice, leather, menthol, and a whole range of balsamic inflections fill out the layers in a dramatic, towering Chianti Classico Riserva. In a word: stunning. Drink: 2025-2042 (Sep 2020)"
95 points Wine Enthusiast: "Enticing aromas of ripe black-skinned fruit, iris, new leather and camphor lead the nose. It's smooth, structured and has great energy for such a hot vintage, offering flavors of dried cherry, raspberry compote, blood orange and tobacco set against taut refined tannins. Drink: 2022–2027. (Nov 2020)"
