Score 90-92/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2024
The 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baròncole is a promising, incredibly nuanced wine. Dark and layered, the 2022 shows off the darker, wilder side of Sangiovese to great effect. Black cherry, game, iron, licorice and lavender build over time. As with all the 2022s, conditions did not allow for total and perfect ripening. That is evident in the wine's flavor profile and overall feel. Even so, this is a fine effort for the vintage.
