Aged for 24 months in oak, the gorgeous 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a brooding, dark wine with great aromatic purity. The fruit tones are rich and penetrating, spanning from plum, prune and cassis to spice cake, tar and black licorice. The wine's concentration is luscious and opulent. The oak element imparts lasting aromas of spice, toast and caramel but the wine already shows a good degree of integration that should help it continue its bottle evolution. Hold this wine until 2017.

Dense and beefy, featuring a core of cherry, augmented by tobacco, spice and earth flavors. Feels like it may be closing down, but all the components are there. Long finish. Best from 2019 through 2032. 10,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
