Castell'in Villa Chianti Classico Riserva 2000

91 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2000 Chianti Classico Riserva, a dark, translucent ruby, opens with a gorgeous nose, followed by deeply expressive layers of spiced black cherries, menthol and flowers that develop in the glass, showing exquisite purity of expression, notable weight and superb overall balance. It is also more accessible and softer today than the 2003 Chianti Classico. The Riserva is the estate’s flagship wine and readers who have the opportunity to snap up older vintages should not hesitate to do so. (Jun 2012)"
