The 2010 was one of the most impressive vintages over the last 30 years, and the Riserva di Biondi Santi 2010 amply proves that. This is a tannic monument of a wine, that will age very well for more decades but also approachable and enjoyable today. A Riserva that could be described as having depth, intensity, structure, without losing the Biondi Santi touch. The nose is explosive, full of dark berries, earth and underbrush, botanical herb, a spiced touch-star anise and white pepper, and leather. On the palate the wine is coherent, with its powerful concentration together with a sense for elegance and vigour. Austere, still intense, super long and lingering, it will have a long future thanks to its incredible aging potential.
