2010 La Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino VV
ITALY / TUSCANY /
Wine Advocate | Rating: 94
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Ragnaie V.V. shows a masculine personality next to the estate's other Brunello wines. Dried fruit and dark cherry are followed by leather, spice, tobacco and pressed rose petal. The wine is also redolent of savory tones including bresaola, smoked ham and crushed white pepper. Silky tannins segue to fresh acidity and long persistency. This Brunello shows a greater degree of evolution and will perform nicely in the medium and long term.Drink Dates: 2016 - 2028Author: Monica LarnerIssue: 217James Suckling | Rating: 100
So much dried citrus and smoke on the nose, with sliced meat and plums. Full body and a dense, intense palate with amazing fruit and intensity, but it's held back. Powerful and in reserve but so balanced and harmonious. An old-vine wine with a big future. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. Better in 2018.Drink Dates: 2018+Author: James SucklingIssue: 19 Oct, 2015Vinous | Rating: 94
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Ragnaie V.V. presents a distinctly wild, savory profile typical of this high-altitude site near the center of town. Sage, mint, smoke, rosemary and sweet red cherries gradually open up in the glass. The 2010 is going to need a few years to fully come together, as it is a bit compact. Still, it is impressive, there is no doubt about that. This fruit was harvested on October 21 and 22, very much on the late side, even for the year.Drink Dates: 2017 - 2030Author: Antonio GalloniIssue: Feb 2015Wine Spectator | Rating: 92
Rich and laced with minerality, this licorice- and cherry-tinged red is vibrant, almost racy. Dense and tightly packed, ending with a light-grained texture. Best from 2018 through 2032. 230 cases made. — BSDrink Dates: 2018-2032Author: Bruce SandersonIssue: Jun 30, 2015
