Brunello Poggio Al Vento Riserva 2010 Col D'Orcia

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (97)

Released seven years after the harvest, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio al Vento is a stunning wine. It soars to the highest altitudes in terms of elegance and power. These opposite forces—muscle versus grace—are what distinguish this classic vintage. Col d'Orcia has effortlessly captured and immortalized both sides of the continuum. The bouquet produces a long succession of aromas including dried cherry fruit, licorice, cola, lavender flower, cured meat and black truffle. The velvety finish is supple and long in persistence. This is a gorgeous creation.

JS A big and rich Brunello with plenty of ripe fruit, chocolate and hazelnut. Full body and round and chewy tannins. Solid as a rock. Drink now or hold
