Austere mid palate yet loads of concentration of flavour of blood orange, ripe morello cherry and clove. Long and waving finish of blond tobacco and leather. Rocky minerality." - Agricola Ridolfi

2010 Vintage Tasted: Mar 2015

Funkelndes, dunkles Rubin-Granat. Sehr klare und duftige Nase, nach eingelegten Pflaumen und Kirschen. Saftig in Ansatz und Verlauf, öffnet sich mit feinmaschigem Tannin, funkelt. geschliffen, im Finale feine Frucht.

About Falstaff

? / 100 James Suckling

2010 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2015

A juicy Brunello with stone, terracotta and plum character. Full body, chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Better in 2017 when the tannins soften.

2010 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2015

Alluring aromas of wild berry, leather, forest floor, Mediterranean brush and a balsamic note mingle in the glass. The tight palate doles out Morello cherry, crushed raspberry, baking spice and grilled herb alongside firm tannins and vibrant acidity. White pepper closes the finish. It's well balanced but needs time to develop complexity. Drink 2018–2028.
