Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Riserva 2001

Beautiful blackberry, currant and coffee aromas follow through to a full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Excellent. Right up there with the 1997. Best after 2005. Score – 91. (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, Oct. 15, 2004)
