2009 Coriole Sangiovese


There are plenty of good reviews on this wine that I think are justified. Nose of red fruits and cherry with some earthiness (is that a word). Medium bodied palate of dark berries, spice and some licorice in there somewhere. Plenty of tannin and acid, there is a small amount of Shiraz included, I assume to tame these. A lovely Sangiovese drying finish, quite well balanced. I'd say a drink now or soon proposition. My score 85 (very good)/100. Buy again - yes, need a supply for pasta nights.
