Banfi 2014 – Chianti Classico Riserva

The nose is fruity. It reveals notes of cassis, dark chocolate / cocoa and crushed blackberry combined with small touches of wild red berries as well as discreet hints of caramelized oak and a very discreet hint of sweet spices. The palate is fruity, soft, silky, well-balanced and offers juiciness, gourmandise, a fine acid frame, minerality, a small roundness, a good freshness and tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crushed cassis, crushed blackberry and plum associated with small notes of black cherry, jammy strawberry, crushed red berries as well as fine touches of liquorice, colas, small touches of wood, chocolate and a discreet hint of garrigue. Good length.
