Badia a Coltibuono Riserva Chianti Classico 2018

A rich perfume lifts from the 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva, with vibrant red cherry, blood orange, smoke, and red flowers. Medium-bodied, with elegant concentration, with fine tannins, and a lasting and ethereal finish, its floral perfume floats along the palate, with balanced structure and refreshing acidity. It offers a sun-ripened feel, with comforting cedar and warming spice, that makes for a remarkable wine to enjoy over the next 10-15 years. Maturity: 2023-2038. Score - 93.
