I don’t know how this gets much better than it is right now. Beautiful, sour cherry and some smokiness on the palate. A beautiful wine. Going to hunt more down.

Had this wine at Barolo Grill in Denver and it was spectacular. Well resolved, medium bodied and elegant with beautiful red fruit as well as secondary flavors of mushroom and tar. Opened, decanted and had a cocktail while is aired out in our glasses and it was singing a half hour after opening. Also ordered the 2012 for comparison and while a good - 91, it still had some heavy grip, less fruit, and started fading in the third hour of dinner. The '10 (great vintage) just kept on humming along. Unfortunately, none left at retail in the country.

Very good. More earthy and bolder than fruity. Delicious.

In a great spot. Dusty red fruits, leather, earth, tinge of herbs. Should age well for longer but no reason to hold.

Excellent Brunello. Complex, spicy, and fantastic. Drinking really well right now.
