2010 Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino

Costanti's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is stunning. Dark, powerful and mysterious in the glass, the 2010 captivates all the senses with its breathtaking beauty and layered, multi-dimensional personality. Lavender, violets, savory herbs, smoke, plums and graphite flow through to the rich, explosive finish. There is a prism-like sense of transparency allied to pure power in the 2010 that is impossible miss. Readers who can find the 2010 should not hesitate it is a must-have. While many 2010s are approachable today, the Costanti's 2010 is not it is a wine for the cellar. -- Antonio Galloni Review Date: March 2015
