The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva delivers loads of soft fruit and defined spice that will appeal to those looking for a more approachable and international style of Sangiovese. This is a nicely shaped wine that exhibits both opulence and power (with 15% alcohol). The finish is very smooth and silky, yet the wine offers enough natural heft and structure to carry it forward five to ten more years of cellar aging. (ML)
