NobleRottersSydney - Less popular varieties (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): {cork, 14%} (Aaron) A deep and powerful nose of dark cherries , iodine and blackberry hardly shows any development at all! Palate is a bit more aged, with black leather, dark plums, but despite all the fruit, it’s still underpinned by savoury sangiovese structure. Medium/high fine powdery tannins, medium acidity, big impression on the mid-palate. It’s medium-bodied in weight, with a medium-long finish, slightly warm. Appears to have plenty here for another decade’s aging easily. Very good indeed.

everything is big about this wine, colour still very dark-red, much tannin, much acidity and much sweet fruit as well. very nice to drink with pappardelle alle lepre, for wich you don't want a wine with too much finesse

Very dark core still, more orangy than the 2009 on the rim. Quite evolved on the nose, balsamic notes, tobacco, herbs, tar, forest notes, hints of raisin. Very fresh again, just starting to open up, elegant but great presence, very long, good future. 92-94+

Sangiovese blend from west of Florence. Pre-dates Chianti.

Still dark. Liquorice, black fruits. Medium bodied. High toned. Fine tannins. Excels with food. Could easily cellar a few more years.
