Antinori 2018 Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva

Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva 2018 präsentiert sich in rubinroter Farbe.
An der Nase entfalten sich fruchtige Noten von Susine und Sauerkirsche begleitet von Balsam- und Minzenoten und einem komplexen Eindruck von Gewürz, Kakao und Tabak.
Der Auftakt am Gaumen ist weich und umhüllend; sanfte Tannine schenken dem schmackhaften und anhaltenden Finale Länge.

Parker:
„This wine sources its fruit from across the Chianti Classico appellation, as Marchesi Antinori has access to parcels throughout the various comuni represented. The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori opens to a sweet note of summer cherry and wild plum that is so characteristic of Sangiovese. The wine is shapely and soft with some distant oak spice, blue flower and potting soil. A small part of Merlot is blended in to add that extra plushness that I have described. Production is an ample 378,000 bottles.” 91 Punkte

Suckling:
„This is tight on the palate with cherries and berries and hints of toasted oak and cedar. It’s medium-bodied and compact, with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Lovely fruit at the end. Drink or hold.” 93 Punkte

Vinous:
„The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori shows the mid-weight style of the year nicely. Silky and aromatic, the 2018 is super-expressive right out of the gate. Dark red cherry, spice, menthol and leather build into the gracious, persistent finish. This is very nicely done.” 92 Punkte
