Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Riserva 2000

The 2000 Chianti Classico Riserva Badia a Passignano is perfumed and elegant in aroma and with the classic wild cherry, plum, and tobacco flavors of the zone in a silky, savory format with much minerality and freshness. Score – 89. (Daniel Thomases, robertparker.com, April 25, 2004)
