Barone Ricasoli Castello di Brolio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2010
Florence, Tuscany, ItalyThe Ricasoli flagship wine is a blend is 80/15/5/ sangiovese, merlot and cabernet sauvignon in 2010. The nose is intense with cigar tobacco, peppery, black cherry, game notes mixed with floral, cedar, rooty, savoury aromas. The attack is full, rich and dry, if slightly tannic, with a concentrated palate of black cherry, smoky, savoury, cedar, vanilla, tobacco, earthy, licorice, balsamic and rosemary flavours. Still youthful but drinkable now with a rare steak. Good effort here but needs a decade in the bottle.Tasted: 02 February 2016Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $70.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
