Note di degustazione
My excellent impression of this wine has remained the same since I first tasted it three years ago. The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is an enormously silky and integrated expression. The wine's power and strength is counted in the many long minutes it remains fixed to the palate. Dark fruit, licorice, tar and grilled herb all play leading roles. In the mouth, this wine shows depth and a beautifully fine texture that is so specific to this classic vintage.

Lustrous ruby with orange tinges. Quite minerally on the nose, with iron and dark earth overlaying red fruit. The sweet fruit literally dances on the palate with lots of succulent acidity. Fine, grainy tannins and long refreshing finish. Gorgeous and already irresistible. (WS)
Attractive, very pale red. Bright if still quite guarded on the nose. Red fruit with a touch of earth; good depth. The palate has a yoghurty component up-front and a certain tannic dryness, so while well balanced overall, it could offer more purity and harmony. (AH)
A big, dramatic wine, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino hits the palate with an exotic mélange of lavender, dried flowers, mint, sage, black cherries and plums, all supported by firm tannins and beams of underlying acidity. Constantly changing in the glass, the 2010 is going to provide superb drinking for many years, but readers will need to give this big, broad-shouldered Brunello a little time in bottle to fully come together. Le Potazzine is one of the very few estates that will not bottle a 2010 Riserva; all the best fruit is here.
