"Elegant, offering good concentration and subtlety to the flavors of wild plum and dark cherry. Well-structured, with a long, rich finish of cocoa butter and spice notes."

"This wine is ruby red in color, with rich dark red nuances and a distinctly fruity bouquet. Its supple cherry aromas are followed by hints of vanilla and cinnamon. It is fullbodied and balanced, with fine-grained tannins. More complex and structured than regular Chianti, this Riserva has an unmistakable Tuscan personality and is best with meat-based dishes, barbecued pork or veal, and game."

"A deep ruby/purple color as well as classic aromas of graphite, creme de cassis and black cherries. Full-bodied and dense with a beautiful texture as well as the potential to evolve for 12-15 years, this is a beauty." Reviewed by Robert Parker.
