I have a bottle of Clemente VII Chianti Classico Riserva 2003. Is this wine one to let sit for a few years or drink it sooner rather than later?

i love food... really any food

Life is too short and we never know when our last day will be.  I'd drink it and enjoy.  Make it a special occasion with someone you love.

Most modern chianti wines are meant to be enjoyed when they are released. So pop that cork and enjoy.

Cheers.

Life's too short for excessive compromise... maximize everything!

Chianti can age a few years but generally chianti is released when it is ready to drink.  Aging wont hurt it, but improvement will be minimal if at all.
