The 2003 Chianti Classico Riserva Vigna Il Poggiale is an intense, weighty effort with superb concentration in its dark red fruit, licorice, tar, mint and sweet toasted oak notes. Ample and persistent on the palate, its richness is balanced by excellent acidity and a restrained style of winemaking. This delicious wine is sure to deliver much pleasure now and over the next decade. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018.
