2010 Cupano Brunello Montalcino [Future Arrival]

Wine Advocate (WA)

The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a smoky, spicy, fruit-forward effort with gamy aromas of cured meat, soy sauce and smoked bacon at the front. The wine sports a dark color and thick concentration. There are ripe berry tones of blackberry preserves and dried prune, but the savory spice aromas are the driving force of this wine. Its flavors are on the oxidized and evolved side of the spectrum. If you have a bottle, this wine is better for near-term consumption. It ages in new French oak for 30 months. - Monica Larner - 28-02-2015
