Campogiovanni Brunello di Montalcino 2010

A beautifully mature Brunello with aromas of black cherry, dried raspberry, leather, tobacco, cedar, and baking spice. Full-bodied and structured, the palate offers layers of ripe red fruit, savory earth notes, and refined tannins balanced by vibrant acidity. Complex and elegant, it unfolds with remarkable depth and precision, leading to a long, persistent finish accented by spice, mineral, and balsamic nuances.

Food Pairing: Braised beef, venison, roasted lamb, wild mushroom risotto, and aged Pecorino cheese.

96 James Suckling Pts: "Perfect aromas to this red with licorice, stone, peach pit, plum, leather and iron. Full body, fine, silky tannins that support a deep, rich fruit concentration showing black fruit, Tuscan dust and oyster shell. Needs four or five years to soften but an amazing finish."

95 Wine Spectator Pts: "Black cherry, black currant, cedar and tobacco flavors highlight this firm, dense red. This has the fruit, structure and harmony to develop, with a juicy finish and a lingering wild herb and mineral aftertaste. Best from 2018 through 2033."

90 Decanter Pts: "Very rich and intense nose with vanilla and caramel notes, and bold black fruit aromas. Dense and structured with masses of very firm tannins; cellar this to let the oak integrate further. Drinking Window 2018 - 2030."
