The 2013 'Foho' Chianti Classico Riserva spent 18 months in oak barrels and at least 6 months in bottle prior to release. It opens with aromas of dried red berries, spices, leather, floral and some chocolate undertones. This is medium-bodied with a lovely silky texture and notable balance throughout. Flavors of cherry, spices and leather continue to linger on the refined finish. This is accessible now, and I expect this to continue to drink well over the next few years.
