Marchesi Antinori Riserva Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2022
94 pts New release from Marchese Antinorio, producer of the legendary Super Tuscan Tignanello! 95 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Elegantly structured and loaded with finesse, the 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva from Antinori pushes all the right buttons, starting with its enticing aromas of ripe black-skinned fruit, violet, exotic dark spice and a whiff of Mediterranean scrub. On the delicious palate, notes of licorice vanilla and crushed mint accent a ripe black cherry core while velvety tannins provide seamless support and plenty of finesse. It's well balanced, with fresh acidity. Drink through 2030. (May 2025)" 93 points James Suckling: "A youthful wine full of fruit, showing intense fresh roses, black cherries and plums. The generous nose is supported by a lush, supple palate with medium body. Velvety tannins with a chalkier finish and refreshing length. Drink or hold. (3/12/25)" 92 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$40 list] The nose is sweetly enchanting, with aromas of milk chocolate, Mission figs, dried cherries, orange peel and wild mint. On the palate, pomegranate joins more cherries, figs and sweet citrus, while undertones of bitter cocoa provide balance. Tannins are refined, but substantial. Alcohol 14%. (Jul 2025)" 91 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori is a deep, fleshy wine. Black cherry, spice, leather, mocha and dried herbs are nicely fleshed out. This soft, resonant Riserva offers tons of early appeal and immediacy. Plush contours wrap it all together in style. Drink: 2025-2032. (Jul 2025)"

Blend of about mostly Sangiovese with splashes of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, aged in large oak casts. Deep Ruby red color with aromas of black and red fruit adding tobacco and herb pepper spice nuances. On the palate flavors of blackberries and sour cherries, savory with licorice notes. Fine chalky tannins, full body, nice balance, long finish ending with herb and fruit mineral character.

Medium light ruby quite wide light ruby rim . This has a slightly smudged nose , slightly dried fruits and spice hints, black tea , quite ripe without a lot of freshness or character, a bit volatile as well . On the palate this is better , with a touch of toasty red cherry , liquorice , rounded mouthfeel and balanced acidity , slightly high alcohol . Finishes a bit quick , with a touch of black tea , dried cherry and herbs . Drink now and over the next 5 years or so , I was expecting a bit more from this , pretty simple and basic .
