Note di degustazione
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is laced with dark cherry, plum, smoke, tobacco, cedar and incense. There is good depth to this mid-weight Brunello, even if some slightly angular contours remain. It will be interesting to see if further time in bottle softens some of the edges. Hints of tar, game and smoke add darker tonalities of complexity as the wine opens up a bit further.

Tommaso Cortonesi's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino shows a dark garnet hue with faint crimson and amber highlights. Compared to its peers, this Brunello shows more evolved tones of dried cassis, oak spice, candied licorice and grilled herbs. It exhibits a rustic personality with a few rough edges that add to its somewhat gruff character. I sampled this wine 12 hours after the bottle was opened and it had fleshed out considerably. I'd suggest a shorter drinking window in this case.
Developed-looking mid ruby with orange rim. Lifted, bright fruit nose. Completely closed on the palate and with a slightly tough finish. Difficult to see where this is going at this moment. (WS)
