This is what I always want when I order a chianti Classico riserva! Perfection!

To me this represents what a great Sangiovese should be. Bright sour cherry fruit, black violets, dusty tannin, slightly sharp acid, leather, sanguine, peppercorn, tea. There's some great tertiaries starting to show up like savory mushrooms, leather, tobacco leaf, anise, beef blood. Lots of underlying mineral character throughout. To me its showing well with enough edge from the acid to still let you know your drinking sangio. Has plenty of time still.

Proper tannins to this: if all Chianti tasted like this, the reputation of the region would be much higher.

Seductive ripe dark fruit with some food-friendly tannins to finish things off.

Thursday night pork, morel risotto & Chianti! This Panzano powerhouse is structured and bone dry- perfect for rich food or cellaring. I so much prefer this to Brunello!

Stunning vintage and frankly still too young to enjoy the best of its highlights.

With @Doug Burress burgers, this bottle was magic! Dry, firm and great with food. Tomorrow I buy my case! Thanks for the wine dad!
