Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Capanelle's 2003 Chianti Classico Riserva is a powerful, enveloping wine loaded with the essence of sweet red cherries, menthol, smoke and tar. The wine possesses compelling inner sweetness and vibrancy, yet today those qualities are trapped behind a wall of massive tannins that will require a few years in bottle to settle down. This remains a vibrant, perfumed Chianti with a very promising future. Capanelle’s Chianti Classico Riserva is 90% Sangiovese and 10% Colorino and Canaiolo. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. The just-bottled 2007 Le Serre Nuove opens with sweet scents of mocha, berries, spices and flowers that lead to a soft, seamless expression of fruit. This is an accessible, silky-textured Serre Nuove to enjoy while the 2006 rests in the cellar. It is an unusually harmonious, refined wine that is sure to deliver much pleasure over the coming years. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2022.

This is concentrated and thick, with black cherry and spices. Full-bodied, with soft tannins and a long finish. Very pretty. Best after 2010.
