The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a full-bodied effort with dark concentration and sweet spice aromas that rise heavily from the glass. The oak element is put on full display and should benefit from a few more years of bottle evolution to better integrate those wood tannins. Dark cherry is followed by toasted almond, cinnamon and crushed black pepper. The wine is very round and yielding on the palate and is one of the few Brunellos from the 2010 vintage that can be consumed not long from now. It would pair next to succulent cuts of lamb. This wine represents a huge jump forward in quality compared to the previous year.

Offers terrific aromas of strawberry, currant and medicinal herbs, revealing hints of anise, tobacco and earth, all backed by a firm, vibrant structure. Stays focused and long, with a succulent finish. Best from 2019 through 2036. 1,400 cases made, 700 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
