something complex and stimulating.<br />

TASTING NOTE: The 2006 Chianti<br />

Classico Riserva is a big, super-ripe wine<br />

loaded with black cherries, blueberries,<br />

French oak and spices. Stylistically, this<br />

is a concentrated, voluminous Riserva<br />

with terrific persistence and balance. It is<br />

one of the finest wines I have tasted<br />

here in some time. The Riserva spent 24<br />

months in French oak. Anticipated<br />

maturity: 2012-2018. Score: 90 (Antonio<br />
