Brunello di Montalcino, Vecchie Vigne, 2010

The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Ragnaie V.V. presents a distinctly wild, savory profile typical of this high-altitude site near the center of town. Sage, mint, smoke, rosemary and sweet red cherries gradually open up in the glass. The 2010 is going to need a few years to fully come together, as it is a bit compact. Still, it is impressive, there is no doubt about that. This fruit was harvested on October 21 and 22, very much on the late side, even for the year.
