Score 89/100 · Drink 2013-2015, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2008

The single-vineyard 2005 Chianti Rùfina Riserva Montesodi is a deeply-colored, soft-textured wine packed with jammy fruit, chocolate and sweet toasted oak. It comes across as somewhat monolithic compared to the finest vintages, with tannins that lack some polish.

Score 89/100 · Drink 2009-2015, Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, Jun 2008

The single-vineyard 2005 Chianti Rufina Riserva Montesodi is a deeply-colored, soft-textured wine packed with jammy fruit, chocolate and sweet toasted oak. It comes across as somewhat monolithic compared to the finest vintages with tannins that lack some polish. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015. I regularly find the Castello di Nipozzano wines to be the finest in the Frescobaldi family’s large portfolio of offerings. Importer: Folio Fine Wine Partners, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 256-2700
