The Chianti Show, Episode #333, 10/15/2007 (link) 93+ points(SELVAPIANA BUCERCHIALE CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA) #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-very interesting powdered Cinnamon mixed w/ blackberry jam; hint of English peas; very subtle sweaty armpit; TASTE-serious lushness; this wine is what it's all about; enormous complexity; beautiful, luscious fruit; so pure & delicious; massive smoked hickory beefy flavors on the mid-palate which transitions gorgeously, to long, luscious fruit flavors (the best & purest fruit jam you've ever had in your life); the Cinnamon comes back on the finish; I love this wine; IWC-93; GV-93+
