Score 91/100 · Drink 2013-2028, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2013
Savory herbs, tobacco, mint, licorice and dark cherries take shape in the glass as the 2008 Chianti Classico Riserva opens up. Deceptively medium in body, the 2008 emerges over time with striking inner perfume and gorgeous depth, all while retaining its weightless, gracious personality. The 2008 is one of the more refined Riservas I have tasted from Castell'in Villa. It should drink well pretty much upon release.

Concentrated mid ruby with orange tinges. Quite closed but brooding. Supple palate but undeniably young, with waves and waves of grainy tannins. Perfectly integrated acidity but needs to become a whole yet. (WS)
