86 pts I was expecting fairly significant results from a 10 year old Chianti Riserva from what was a very good vintage. Yes there are elements which have blended together and clearly have wonderful elements of age, however I was quite surprised with lack of back end integration and depth/complexity.
Didn't seem faded, or overly aged, but maybe just not a great example.
Great Chianti is reminiscent of Brunello which this isn't.
