A sweet, almond- and vanilla-driven nose marks this pretty bottling. The oak element is evident, especially in the mouth, where the wine shows some bitterness in terms of its tannins.——M.L.(9/1/2008)—— 87

Packed tight with power and concentration, this is a meaty, dense Chianti Classico Riserva that boasts thick aromas of mature fruit. The wine has a dense, almost gritty consistency and ends with fresh cherry and plum flavors.——M.L.(3/1/2008)—— 88

Fairly oaky, with strong aromas of sawdust morphing into vanilla and butter. Fortunately there’s plenty of fruit backing it up. In the mouth, it’s firm, with bright cherry and plum; then even more vanilla shows up. Finishes with rubbery tannins and the flavor of black tea. ——W.E.(4/1/2005)—— 89

From Conti Capponi, this medium-intensity Chianti offers basic berry and plum aromas along with plump strawberry and plum flavors. Finishes clean, with a touch of vanilla and butter. A touch bulky.——M.S.(10/1/2004)—— 85
