Ruffino Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva Lodola Nuova

Consistent with notes on 1/25/13. Decanted for 1 hr. In a sweet spot right now.

Beautiful Sangiovese. Ran through Vinturi. Dark red but not opaque. Typical floral nose with hints of cherry and cedar. Very nice balance of tannin and acidity. Long finish of sour cherry and spice. Great wine for the price.

dark red-black color classical quality aroma of Sangiovese rich flavors, full body, balanced tannin & bitterness, 'warm & alcoholic', value for money. Impressing!

Nice dark color. Cherries and cedar box. Round and balanced with soft tannins. Hint of dark chocolate. Long finish (about 35-40s). Got better after 2 hour of decanting. Paired very nicely with grilled jumbo shrimps (w/ spicy tomato, butter and herbs sauce). Overall a great bottle of wine that should be cellared for 2 years. Overdelivers for under $30.
