Product Description
RP97 Poggio di Sotto has released one of the wines of the vintage. The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva fulfills the promise of its category. Brunello Riservas are aged for six long years before their release, thus insuring extra intensity and complexity. This wine delivers both in abundance. The bouquet is more sophisticated and deeper than the Annata and in addition to dark fruit and blackberry, this wine shows an extra dose of clove and spice. In the mouth, the wine is smooth and silky, but it also shows impressive power and length. This Riserva will deliver its best performance for those who are willing to wait ten years or more.
JD96 The 2010 Brunello Di Montalcino is starting to come around and is in a good place for drinking now, although it also feels like it’s still a bit clenched at this showing. Aromas of dried black cherries, tobacco leaf, leather, dried roses, and thyme are well layered and hold up in the glass. Potent on the palate, this medium to full-bodied Brunello is forward with salty earth, notes of dried orange peel that are long through the finish, and a mouthwatering and angular texture. A noble wine, it’s starting to show off its abundant tertiary profile, but again, it feels a touch clenched and I get the sense it may never quite lose that. It certainly has more to offer over the next 10 years.
