PnP: cola, cherry, potpourri spice notes on nose; ruby with slight rim; medium bodied; wonderfully balanced fruit and acidity, nice savory midpalate with cherry ceding to asian spices with classic dry finish. Excellent with grilled salmon. Only going to improve.

wow... so good over four nights... this was powerful (and I gen'ly an "elegant" wine seeker) but really really nice, also feels like it could go another 10-15 years for sure... lovely darkish fruit / full body / good crisp acidity / and some umami... wow

Opened by Mark at Chef Leo's for my 60th birthday. The best wine of the night. 2010 was an excellent vintage in Brunello and this wine is a fine example of the great weather that year. Blackish red color. Not decanted. This single vineyard Brunello is aged in Slavonian and Allier oak casks. Aromas of leather and crushed cherries. This had a round texture with supple tannins. Notes of plum, lavender and black cherries. Long finish. Drinking very well now and even better than the 2010 regular Brunello which I previously had from this estate. 95 points.
