  Poured into a decanter about 90min before service; enjoyed over a several hour period. The 2010 “Poggio delle Rose” pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Bing cherries compote, red flowers, balsamic, oiled leather. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. This is a flashier expression of Chianti Classico Riserva by Castell’in Villa, with a modern touch. However, the sense of place is not even a question. This is Castelnuovo Berardenga through and through. Drinking well now with an extended decant and will continue to drink well through 2030, easy.

  A Great Wine that deserves solid 94. The Wine has a superb balance - medium tannins and acidity well integrated - a Long pleassant aftertaste. The frit is mature cherries - also getting forrest Floor and menthol. Also getting chokolate and hints of leather - a great Wine.

  Quite light and elegant. Medium+ acidity and medium tannins. It delivers a lot of dark cherries (a very pronounced and primary expression), forrest floor, a hint of menthol and dark chocolate. Good overall balance and a semi long aftertaste. A small 93 at this point, but surely with a great potential.

  Extremely pure and fruit-driven old-school Chianti Classico. A little restrained at the moment, but with great future. 92+
