2011 Castell'in Villa - Chianti Classico Riserva

The 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva is powerful and dense, with all of the natural richness of the year very much on display. Macerated cherry, leather, spice and tobacco fill out the wine's frame nicely. There is lovely depth to the 2011, but I also get the impression it will drink well relatively early for a Castell'in Villa wine.
