The 2010 Giorgio Primo possesses stunning richness and power. A deep, concentrated wine, the 2010 emerges from the glass with layered black fruit, melted rocks, licorice, graphite and menthol. Frankly, this is a difficult wine to taste alongside other wines from Chianti Classico because the reference points are necessarily from somewhere else: the great wines of Bordeaux. The 2010 brings together all the best elements of the house style. The 2010 is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. August, 2013. -Antonio Galloni, Vinous MediaThe nose is breathtaking with raspberries, flowers and cassis. Some Tuscan mint. Full and racy with a fine line of bright acidity and super fine creamy tannins. Licorice, lead pencil and subtle fruit. Power with finesse. A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. This was a very late harvest here and a hailstorm cut production 30%. Only 7,000 bottles made instead of normal 20,000. Try in 2016. August, 2012. -James Suckling
