The 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva has put on quite a bit of weight since I tasted it last year. Black cherry, plum, leather, licorice, smoke and tobacco are some of the many notes that develop in this brooding, powerful Riserva. The ripeness of the vintage adds an extra dimension of sweetness and volume that works nicely to play off the natural vibrancy of Sangiovese.

The 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva is a pretty, accessible wine. The darker side of Sangiovese comes through nicely. Succulent red cherry, lavender, sage, spice, menthol and licorice all develop in this expressive, super-appealing Riserva. Drink it over the next decade.
