The 2019 Chianti Classico has changed dramatically since I last tasted it, either because of more time in bottle, or because this is a later bottling. In any event, the 2019 is dense, ample and resonant in feel. Readers will find a serious, texturally intense Chianti Classico that delivers the goods, big time. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2024)

Andrew Cullimore
Medium ruby , quite wide medium light garnet rim . Quite deep slightly spicy , smoky red cherry , fresh plum with menthol touches, rosemary and thyme notes . On the palate nice fresh cherry , blueberry , strawberry , dried spice and a slight menthol , smoky note from the nose . Good freshness and ripe but slightly grippy tannins , just balanced alcohol . Good menthol, cherry and liquorice tinged finish . This is drinking well now , quite fruit driven and juicy but well balanced, as per usual best with food and will probably continue at this level for another 4-5 years or so
