Note di degustazione
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.

A huge, dark wine, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is endowed with massive depth. There is certainly no shortage of depth or pure power, but the slightly forward aromatics suggest the 2010 is on a fast aging curve. I would prefer to drink the 2010 Riserva over the next five years, and only with similarly rich, intense foods. Today, the wine's balance is hanging on a very thin thread, but as the fruit fades, the flavors will become gamier and the tannins will stick out more than they do today.
Tasted blind. Impenetrable, almost blackish ruby. Brooding concentration, exotically spiced and with hints of fruit cake. Rich fruit on the palate. Clearly Sangiovese, but it's not subtle. (WS)
Fabulous aromas of blackberries, Chinese mushrooms, violets and stones. A touch of toasted oak, too. Full body and powerful tannins, yet this remains polished and balanced. Seamless and endless finish. Such great depth and complexity. Needs two or three years more of bottle age. Open in 2020. Oct 2015, JamesSuckling.com
