In a five-liter bottle, this 2010 is great; good balance between fruit, acids, alcohol, underbrush herbacious flavors, and importantly the oak. Thanks @AndersTillander for sharing!

With every wine I try from Barone Ricasoli I become more of a fan. Rich and bold while (patiently) revealing a deeper presence, depth and character. As it stretches out it exhibits more and more of its strengths. It becomes a fulfilling conversation to have.

Drinks more like a Barolo than a Sangiovese. Great nose and tannins. Stands up to a steak and not just basic Italian fare.
