Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend

Totally agree with the above description as “velvety”. This is a plush, medium bodied wine; think dark red berries and beefsteak tomatoes charring in a clay pot. Is anyone else getting almond on the finish?

Rich but not too heavy

Yep velvety and fruity as described, let this one breath a bit, had the 2012, it was quite nice!

Blech. Used some for stew and dumped out the rest, rather than drink.

A little sweet.

Blackberry, tar. Gift for Mike from son and daughter in law

Hmmm it's OK

Nice flavor and balance. Good value.

Insanely smooth. Great with Italian food. Best chianti I've ever had
