Made with organically farmed fruit, the 2009 Chianti Classico Riserva is a dark and richly layered expression that peels off to reveal delicious tones of dark fruit, oak spice, toasted vanilla and wild herb. The heftiness of the wine and its overall extraction do not go unnoticed. There’s a hedonistic quality here that will appeal less to Sangiovese traditionalists, although the quality is above reproach. The style is big and so is the memory it leaves on the senses. - Monica Larner
