Volpaia Chianti Classico 1999: Deeply coloured, with a rich, garnet red hue. The nose has plenty of dark fruits with a slightly smoky sheen of wood, and hints of sweet roasted meats, but like many young wines it needs time in the glass to open up. It has a fruit dominated palate, with typical, strong acidity. Medium bodied and good structure, with firm, chalky tannins, which dry out the finish. Very good. (30/10/02)
