Tasting notes
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is an austere red wine with a generous flavor profile that spans from cassis and dried cherry to soft leather and freshly tilled earth. There's a sour note on the finish that is reinforced by the bitterness of the acidity. These traits suggest that this wine should be put aside in your cellar for a few more years in order to obtain more harmonious integration.

Tasted blind. Lustrous ruby with orange tinges. Only the merest hint of fruit and malt. Medicinal and quite tart on the palate. Beginning of oxidation. Joyless. Two samples tasted. (WS)
A very pretty Brunello with focus and grandeur. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a dried lemon and salty undertone. This is extremely well made and delivers so much character. Drink or hold. Feb 2016, JamesSuckling.com
