The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a dark, brooding and powerful wine. It shows immediate richness and evident complexity with spice, tobacco, cured meat and dried blackberry or plum. This a gorgeous wine that is only at the beginning of a long aging evolution. This wine is absolutely impeccable on all levels. It delivers stunning intensity, power, integrity and balance. The aromatic momentum continues to grow and becomes steadily more expansive and complete as the wine takes on more air in the glass. I was absolutely blown away by this Riserva. It confirms my conviction that Andrea Cortonesi is one of Brunello's most talented winemakers. I suggest waiting five years or more before opening this bottle.

Saturated with cherry, black currant and floral notes, this red evokes licorice, wild herb and stone accents. Solidly built yet refined, with a Burgundian quality common to many 2010 Riservas. Shows superb balance and extraordinary length. Best from 2018 through 2035. 800 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
