800 cases were made

This also seems to be a bit frozen in time

Sweet floral and minty notes add freshness on the finish

with plenty of dark red cherry

Conti Costanti, Brunello Montalcino Riserva Vintage:2010 is illuminatingGood 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
