Once it has some air to mellow it out this is absolutely spectacular. More elegant/refined as opposed to powerful but checks all the boxes for a well crafted BdM with some age.

Elegant side of brunelo with the most gorgeous raspberries and sweet cherries. Beautiful black spice and green bell. Amazing velvety, red berry palate with great fillment and finishing big and tender. 94+

Benvenuto Brunello - Walk Around Tasting (Drake Hotel - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Another very successful 2010 Riserva tasted today. Starts with rich fruit, but a minerality and subtlety comes through very quickly that provides a real reserve. Complex finish of spice, fruit and structure that I'd really like to revisit in a decade+. Very good potential.

Plush cherry, thyme, basil nose; a little something licorice-like but very subtly so. Herbal palate but no lack of fruit saturation.

Nose of almond/nutty, hint of smoked meats. Raspberry.
