Tasting notes
The 2000 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggio is another excellent choice for drinking now. Bright acids support a core of dark fruit, leather, tobacco, cedar, dried herbs and earthiness. In this tasting, the 2000 comes across as a touch slender, and yet all the elements are very nicely balanced. There is maybe just a touch of excitement missing; otherwise, the 2000 is beautifully done. Periods of stress leading to an early harvest yielded an Il Poggio with fewer layers and less volume than in the very best years.
