Poggiotondo’s 2005 Chianti Superiore may merit an even higher rating as it tastes like a Chianti Riserva. Cedary, black currant, white chocolate, bay leaf, and spice-like characteristics emerge from this lovely red. It possesses excellent ripeness, medium to full body, and impressive density as well as richness. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.A Leonardo LoCascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel.
