Score 94/100 · Drink 2022-2028, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2023
The 1978 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggio retains terrific energy and brightness for a wine of its age. Dark cherry, leather, tobacco, menthol and game are nicely lifted in this deceptively mid-weight Il Poggio. Savory and floral accents abound in this delicate, nuanced Il Poggio. The 1978 is notable for its combination of textural depth (for a wine of its age) and bright acids, the signatures of the finest wines of the year.
