Score 89/100 · Drink 2024-2027, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Jul 2024
The Badia a Coltibuono 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva has a ripe fruit profile with baked cherry and redcurrant confit. The blend is 90% Sangiovese with Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Colorino. You definitely sense the heat and sunshine of the 2020 growing season. There are some raisiny or slightly oxidative notes to close, and I recommend a short drinking window as a result. This is a 36,000-bottle release.

The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva offers good depth but is also marked by gamy and animal undertones. Forward aromatics and flavors further suggest the 2020 will evolve quickly. What a shame.
