94 Points - Antonio Galloni

The 2023 Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baròncole is soft, succulent and wonderfully inviting. Black cherry, plum, mocha and dark spice notes are pushed forward. Blood orange, cedar and new leather add exotic overtones on the plush finish. This is an especially open-knit vintage for Le Baròncole. As such, the 2023 will drink well pretty much on release.
