| The 2008 Chianti Classico Riserva is a very pretty,centered wine. Dark cherries, plums, spices, menthol, cedar, game and tobacco are some of the notes that emerge from the glass. The 2008 is an understated Riserva that impresses for its length, focus and balance. Another consistent wine from the Castello, this was showy now, but will be more rewarding with time. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023. (Robert Parker: 92 Points) |
