Vinous: 93 Points
The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva is laced with hints of black cherry, sage, mint, tobacco, and incense. The aromatics are quite expressive in the Riserva. Bright acids lend energy to this deceptively mid-weight Riserva from Casaloste.
James Suckling: 93 Points
Attractive nose of blueberries, raspberries, pomegranates and apricots with hazelnuts and praline. Medium-bodied with a creamy and silky palate. Lovely, pure and fresh fruit, framed by sleek tannins. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Decanter Magazine: 92 Points
Exudes the typical richness of Panzano in Chianti, the extended ageing in French oak barriques adding balsamic nuances to the exuberant tones of ripe blackberries, new leather and raw cocoa. It has a smooth and velvety texture yet also possesses enough acidity and tannic heft to achieve balance. Black cherry and chocolate echo on the enticingly creamy finish.
