| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
VILLA ANTINORI |
| Very deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, attractive, ripe plum-cherry puree nose with some maturing, gently complex, sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, slightly spicy, dense, ripe plum-cherry puree flavours with a lingering, gently cedary finish. This very tasty blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet - not Merlot (which was used in 2011) and is incorrectly quoted in the Vintages Catalogue. It has 13.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L5165 on the lower part of the glass bottle. A charming, delicious, well structured Chianti which will keep! |

| TASTING NOTE: Based in an authentic sense of territory, the 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori is 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot - although Renzo Cotarella tells me that the goal is to soon make this wine 100% Sangiovese. The bouquet is generous and nicely concentrated with dark fruit nuances and succulent spice at the back. Delicate floral nuances of wild rose and violets are given ample room for expression. The mouthfeel is velvety and fine in texture. Drink Date: 2017-2027. Score - 91 (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2016) |
