Opening to a dark ruby and garnet appearance, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is an elaborate and carefully worked red wine from southern Tuscany. The intensity and boldness is immediately apparent. The wine presents sheer power and beauty. This is a very impressive effort and a wine that has obviously benefit from the best of what nature and mankind have conspired to produce in this excellent vintage. It shows less weight in the mouth and is moreover focused on length and persistence.
