The 2010 Altesino Brunello Riserva is a simply striking wine, impressive for its wonderful finesse and purity. It opens with alluring aromas of dried cherries and red berries woven together with rose petals, earthy minerals and a touch of leather which all come together beautifully. On the palate this displays excellent overall balance and finesse with a gorgeous refined silky texture leading to a finish laced with flavors of red berries and tobacco. The 2010 is already so compelling, however it is sure to evolve gracefully for many years to come. (Best 2018-2034) - March, 2016 (JD)
