Conti Costanti, Brunello Montalcino Riserva Vintage:2010 lengthy and ever-so-slightly warm finale

lengthy and ever-so-slightly warm finale

ripe and very ripe berries leave a mouth filling impression

when the normal production should have been around 100

This also seems to be a bit frozen in time

and the Chinese have seemingly fallen in love in Cabernet

Conti Costanti, Brunello Montalcino Riserva Vintage:2010 lengthy and ever-so-slightly warm finaleGood bright, deep red. Deep, pure, brooding nose hints at licorice and minerals. Powerful and penetrating but extremely backward, with strong acidity framing and intensifying the flavors of dark fruits and licorice. Finishes very long and vibrant, with a medicinal note of menthol. This compellingly deep but extremely backward wine is built for a long life in bottle but is not fun to drink today. Shows the acidity and grip of 2006. Stephen Tanzer
