The 1999 Chianti Classico is a sensational bargain. This vintage has produced super-ripe, opulently-textured, thick, juicy, sexy wines that will prove sensationally popular with consumers. A deep ruby color is followed by a sumptuous effort loaded with jammy black fruit, smoke, earth, and leather aromas as well as flavors. Enjoy this compelling Chianti over the next 4-5 years.
