100% Sangiovese. While it is true that I drink far more Barolo than Brunello, I still have had my fair share (or close to it) of the wines from the top appellation in Italy for Sangiovese. Upon opening, this wine was rather shy, with virtually no bouquet and a rather listless palate.
After only an hour or so, the situation changed rather dramatically with plenty of red and black fruit (along with cinnamon and other spices). The palate really perks up as well with a rich, but balanced mouthfeel, with lovely fruit and tartness. There are some tannins on the finish, but they are far from harsh. Still, this could benefit from some additional cellar time.
