This 11 year old wine is drinking very nicely like a good Brunello now. This fabulous wine needs 1 hours to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle (So much better once it opens up, so be patient). The color is an intense ruby red with a delicate fruity fragrance, like cranberries and dark cherry. Also chocolate and licorice add to a good experience. 2010 Sangiovese Riserva has firm and smooth tannins. There is a pleasant acidic aftertaste in this multi layered great wine.
