  This was quite delightful. Surprisingly light-bodied, this scored more for it's delicate energy and beauty, had the acidity of the vintage but not so much power. Very light in color too.

  Sultry brown-tinged garnet in color. Nose is provocative, with layers of cherry, earth and incense. Palate is initially awash with a bit of sweet oak, but it integrates nicely with a quick decant. Round red/black fruit, finely textured, and good acid. Maybe not the most expressive yet and perhaps a bit on the glossier side for traditional purists, but still very pleasing to drink. Wait 3-4 years for next bottle.

  Light colored, clear and brilliant looking, awesome fragrance of red fruit, flowers and sandalwood, harmony in the mouth, nothing heavy here, elegant balance of flavors such as red plum, cherry, herbal mix and licorice, silky Brunello, perfect with pork Bolognese

  Things are coming together. Tannins well integrated and a softened acidity after a hour in the karaf. Very elegant and consistend. This was already a sip of the great 2010 to come.
