The 2010 Brunate was on full display, showing a rich and incredibly fresh bouquet of crushed black fruits with sweet herbs, menthol, brown spice and the slightest hint of exotic spicy volatility. On the palate, I found silky, pliant textures with depths of exotic dark fruits, sweet tea leaves, and minerals, which were at first enlivened with brisk acids and then restrained by fine tannin. The finish was long, structured, yet balanced, with ripe black fruits, cheek-puckering acids and lingering mineral tones. This is a classic in the making, and I’m sure it will shut down at some point, but it’s currently allowing a preview of what this gorgeous wine will one day become.
