The 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale is a little awkward with heavier aromas of black olive and dried dill notes within dark fruit and spice. The harmony is not all there and varietal character is reduced. The blend is 90% Sangioveto with 5% parts each of Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo. By the way, I loved the 2010 vintage of this wine, so if given a choice buy that.

Rich, deep and powerful, the 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale possesses superb depth and resonance. Lavender, smoke, plums and spices are all laced together in a Chianti Classico built on an absolutely alluring combination of fruit and structure. This is a great showing from Castellare - but I must warn readers the 2011 Poggiale needs time in the cellar, so patience is critical.
