Brunello di Montalcino Fattoria dei Barbi 2010 (750ML)

Fattoria dei Barbi's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino starts with a tightly wound personality that begins to unravel slowly, one delicate layer at a time. As it does, you become aware of dried fruit, cigar box, crushed mineral, plum, tar and cola. The wine puts on a beautiful display. I also loved the mouthfeel of this beautiful wine: It is tonic, tight and brimming with energy. Well-integrated oak notes give the wine a spot of softness and velvety spice. This is one beautiful Sangiovese...94 Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 02/15

"""A deep, powerful wine, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino possesses notable depth and intensity. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, tobacco, new leather and incense meld together in a muscular, resonant wine built on structure. This is a 2010 that is going to need time to fully come together, but it is impressive just the same...93+"" AG 2/2015"

"96 Points, James Suckling: ""...Full body, very tight and dense with a beautiful fruit, tannin and acid balance. Finesse and strength. Best wine from here for ages..."" 12/14"
