The 2003 Chianti Classico Riserva San Marcellino (100% Sangiovese) saw 18 months in small oak barrels. It represents a sweeter, fatter interpretation of Chianti Classico in super-ripe dark fruit, chocolate, and toasted oak nuances, with excellent length and fine overall balance. It should drink well for another decade and will show its best if opened a few hours prior to serving. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017. - Robert Parker 91 Points
