Carpineto Riserva Chianti Classico 2017

Smoky blackberry, rosemary and tar flavors predominate in this burly red, with dense, assertive tannins. This could use a little more generosity midpalate to buffer the tannins, yet persists on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2037. Score – 90. (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, Dec. 15, 2021)
