Score 90/100 · Drink 2015-2024, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Oct 2014

Mild baking spice and sweet vanilla open the nose of the 2010 Chianti Classico Riserva. The oak signature is evident but well managed and this wine promises to integrate with further bottle evolution. I did find the tannins to be especially young with pinpoint touches of astringency that will require more time before they soften. The blend is 90% Sangiovese with smaller parts Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Colorino, aged in French and Austrian oak.

Gaiole-in-Chianti. Very slow to emerge from the glass. Serious! All is set on elegance here, with a tangy, almost salty finish. Almost burgundian in style. (WS)
