Another wonderful showing in 2010 is the Brunello di Montalcino from Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona. This is pure, elegant and refined, bursting with fresh dark cherries and plums followed by spring floral, aged balsamic, wet stones with hints of red licorice. Full-bodied with excellent balance, supported by a gorgeous silky texture and a lovely inner sweetness from the ripe tannins, which carries through to the long, pretty finish. This is quite open, even at the early stage and looks as if it will be accessible immediately, however should also age nicely over the next decade. (Best 2016-2030) - January, 2015 (JD)
