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. — 8 months ago

Such pure Sangio. Bright cherry and cocoa coupled with eucalyptus and menthol. Shows what a great winemaker does in a tough vintage. Kudos Principessa — 9 years ago

Medium ruby , quite wide medium light garnet rim . Quite deep slightly spicy , smoky red cherry , fresh plum with menthol touches, rosemary and thyme notes . On the palate nice fresh cherry , blueberry , strawberry , dried spice and a slight menthol , smoky note from the nose . Good freshness and ripe but slightly grippy tannins , just balanced alcohol . Good menthol, cherry and liquorice tinged finish . This is drinking well now , quite fruit driven and juicy but well balanced, as per usual best with food and will probably continue at this level for another 4-5 years or so — 4 months ago
