BIONDI-SANTI

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2010

- 97 points -

A darker garnet/red color, the 2010 Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva is classic to a T, with aromas of graphite, sanguine blood orange, dried cherries, espresso, and as it opens, it turns to more kirsch as well as dried roses and worn leather. Medium-bodied, but chiseled in structure, with ripe, refreshing tannins, a fantastic balanced structure, andnotes of Mediterranean herbs, it floats on the palate for a long time with all its hallmark components intertwining. A gorgeous wine that’s just starting to show what it is capable of, this is a phenomenal benchmark wine for the ages.
