Wine Spectator

Wine Enthusiast

Juicy dark cherries, rose petals, savory herbs, mint and wild flowers are all woven together nicely in the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino. Succulent and forward, the 2010 drinks well today, but it also has the depth to develop nicely for at least a few more years. Silky tannins support the round, supple finish. The fruit-driven, middle of the road style is sure to find many admirers

Wine Advocate

Extremely floral aromas with lots of plum and berry character. Full body, firm and silky tannins. Builds on the palate. Gorgeous and vivid fruit. Polished and refined.

Vini d'Italia del Gambero Rosso

Mid ruby with orange tinges. Opulent cherry with fruitcake notes. Already very accessible but acidity prevents it from becoming overtly sweet, while the bitter tannins give a nice contrast to the dense fruit. (WS)

Jancis Robinson

“Sweet cherry, plum, licorice and wild herb aromas and flavors mingle in this supple, juicy red. Layered and complex, with elegance and a mineral-tinged aftertaste. Shows excellent harmony and expression.”

James Suckling

Aromas include ripe red and black fruit, spice, mint, espresso and oak. The palate is extremely soft and forward, showing mature black plum, toast, coffee and vanilla extract alongside evolved tannins. Reflecting the hot vintage, it lacks energy for the long term so enjoy over the next few years

International Wine Cellar

Poggio San Polo's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful wine with a deep sense of aromatic purity and complexity. The bouquet delivers characteristic tones of small berry, forest floor, pressed violets, sweet spice, licorice and cola. Those aromas are both pure and intense, and build in momentum as the wine takes on more air in the glass. This is a fantastic effort with a mouthfeel that is as delicate and light as its it is meaningful and long-lasting. The overall effect is one of elegance and finesse. This is a highly recommendable achievement from a classic vintage. Open this bottle after 2017.

Guida Oro i Vini di Veronelli

Decanter Magazine

Oak, herb, fennel, hay and wild berry aromas lead the nose. The firm palate offers Morello cherry, oak, cinnamon, clove, Mediterranean herb with a confectionary note alongside tightly knit and austere tannins that need time to unwind.
