Score 89/100 · Drink 2002-2008, Robert Parker, Dec 2002
The 1999 Chianti Classico Riserva offers up complex aromas of underbrush, compost, sweet black cherry fruit, asphalt, and saddle leather. Medium-bodied, with admirable up-front fruit, a slight austerity, and a tannic finish, it should drink well for 5-6 years.
