Parker about Chianti Classico Riserva 2004
The estate's 2004 Chianti Classico Riserva shows the pedigree of this superb Tuscan vintage in its expansive, layered personality. The wine develops beautifully in the glass as tar, smoke, earthiness, underbrush, menthol, toasted oak and dark cherries emerge from its medium-bodied frame. This terrific Chianti should continue to drink well for another decade or so.
