Score 90/100 · Drink 2002-2010, Robert Parker, Jun 2002
The 1999 Sangiovese Reserva reveals new oak as well as concentration and body. The aromatics and flavors are essentially the same as the regular cuvee, except for the addition of vanilla and toast notes. The big, structured, and rich Reserva will last 7-8 years, although I recommend drinking it over the next 4-5. Tel. (707) 255-5862

Full ruby-red. Very ripe aromas of blueberry, black cherry, currant and licorice. Sweet, lush and full; richer and suppler than the basic bottling. Finishes with even, tongue-dusting tannins and fat fruit.
