Brunello di Montalcino 2010 Il Marroneto

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (95)

Beautifully ripe and intense, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino never feels overdone or too heavy. In fact, it treads with the lightest of footprints imparting delicate tones of rose petal, forest berry, white cherry, balsam herb and sweet almond as it flutters over the senses. The main message here is elegance and this wine is profoundly eloquent on the subject. The mouthfeel is tight silky and enduring. Delicate mineral notes give focus and definition to the finish. This is a classic Brunello from an iconic vintage.

James Suckling (94)

Aromas of wild and medicinal herbs lead off, with cherry, spice and tobacco flavors. Fleshy and focused, with a long, flavorful aftertaste of fruit, spice and tar.
