Hmmm…. Taken to an Italian restaurant and different opinions were rendered. Mine was that it’s a somewhat course and clumsy Brunello rendition. Not everyone agreed with me. For a 2010, I was disappointed

Lovely BdM, drinking really well; good fruit and acid, tannins have softened nicely. Opened bottle for a couple hours and paired with a grilled rib steak. Drink now.

Decanted approx 90 minutes. Truly amazing. Got even better in the glass and over the next hour or two. Classic Brunello. Silky smooth and well balance in every category.

Very enjoyable at this stage but has tons of life left, I'd say 10 more cellar yrs easy. The 2010 Brunello vintage has continued to be outstanding and this bottle is a great example of that.

Decanted and in the glass for more than an hour. This wine is quite a treat, with lots of aging potential. Pronounced nose of black fruit and sweet baking spices. The palate is dry but overflowing with ripe black and red cherries. Medium acidity, medium to medium (+) tannins and deceivingly high alcohol (15%). This is a robust, wonderfully warm yet nicely balanced Brunello, once again emphasizing the greatness of the 2010 vintage. Drink now with decanting and food or keep for another 5-10 years.
