"Fontodi's 1999 Chianti Classico Riserva Vigna del Sorbo is another dazzling wine. Rich, powerful and intense, the 1999 brings to mind the 2006 in its ample, full-bodied, structured personality. Hints of mocha and chocolate from the slightly higher-toast barrels that were typical of the era add complexity, nuance and depth. Violets, tar and licorice inform the powerful, virile, voluptuous finish."
