2018 Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva Tenute Marchese Antinori

"The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Marchese Antinori offers a beguiling mix of Sangiovese energy and Cabernet Sauvignon savoriness. Translucent and energetic, the 2018 has much to offer. I would prefer to see a bit more Sangiovese character, but the Marchese is designed to be a sort of mini-Tignanello and it leans towards the more savory end of the spectrum because of the presence of Cabernet Sauvignon." - Antonio Galloni Review Date: September 2021

The density and polish to this is impressive with opulent, velvety tannins to the ripe fruit. A blue-fruit, lavender and mineral undertone to it. Flavorful and very long." - James Suckling ( Review Date: November 2019
