Il Poggione is a dazzling effort in 2010, it instantly bursts with seductive aromas of ripe blackberries and plums, woven together with sweet spices, savory herbs, mineral, spring floral, fresh porcini, mint and a hint of licorice. This Brunello is impressive for its seamless texture, beautiful balance and lovely core of acidity that provides lift and a wonderful sense of freshness all the way through the round, silky finish, which makes it impossible to resist. Overall, this is a world-class Brunello that should continue to evolve for a decade and beyond. (Best 2017-2030) - February, 2015 (JD)
