The 2004 Chianti Classico, a lively medium ruby, is fresh and vibrant, with gorgeous aromatics and plenty of fruit, showing excellent length, fine tannins and a delicate personality. It is sure to provide much pleasure over the next five or so years, especially at the dinner table, where it has proven over the years to be a superb food wine. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2012.
