Score 88/100 · Drink 2013-2014, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2009

The 2006 Chianti Rùfina Riserva Nipozzano is an intensely concentrated wine loaded with dark fruit. The oak treatment seems excessively heavy handed, especially for a wine in an appellation known for a relatively delicate style of Chianti.
