Enjoyed this but just have never been able to really understand the 2010 vintage. I am a neophyte Brunello drinker but not in terms of Sangiovese. I think too often the extended oak treatment masks some of the beauty of the variety. This was among the better of my brunello from 2010 which included Argiano, Ciacci Piccolomini, Salicutti, Conti Costanti, il Marroneto among others.

Really enjoyed this. Not dark and foreboding as some Syrah can be but still had the lovely olive and other savory notes. Fruit was fresh and at the forefront. Just a lovely bottle that was gone quite quick—will buy more!
