An excellent Chianti from the reliable Antinori winery, the 1993 Chianti Classico Badia a Passignano Riserva reveals a denser plum/garnet color than the regular cuvee, a grilled meat, smoky, animal, spicy-scented nose, medium to full body, high extract, and a supple, fleshy mouthfeel. Long in the mouth, with a more structured feel, this youthful Chianti is capable of lasting another 10-12 years. Very impressive!
