Showing an aged or evolved set of aromas, the 2012 Chianti Classico Riserva is made with organically farmed fruit. The wine exhibits a dark garnet color with copper highlights. The bouquet offers dried cherry, black currant, spice, rosemary and licorice. The total effect shows sharp and rustic points with bright acidity on the mid-weight finish. I would not wait too much longer before drinking this wine.
