The most historic estate in Montalcino absolutely thrived in 2010, releasing two perfect wines, the Annata and this stunning Riserva. This Brunello is impressive for its overall sheer class, elegance, purity and remarkable structure. Today, the 2010 Riserva is extremely youthful and will require a significant amount of time before it will begin to show its full potential, but nonetheless a truly magnificent wine. Today this youthful Brunello slowly releases aromas of lovely dark cherries woven together with freshly cut floral and hints of spice, minerals and crushed stones. This continues to impress with remarkable balance and finesse supported by gorgeous fine, silky tannins which lead into the long, pretty finish. There is little more to say, except the 2010 Riserva is truly special and ultimately has the potential to go down in history as one of the greatest wines ever from Biondi-Santi.
