Wine Spectator Review
Rated 95
This rich version is saturated with flavors of cherry, plum, spice and earth. The tannins are dense, and the vibrant acidity keeps the wine focused and long. Offers a fine mix of power and finesse, featuring a mineral element on the finish. Best from 2018 through 2035.

Boasting a beautiful dark color and rich concentration, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino awards a good sense of varietal character. There is a lot of layering here and the wine most certainly veers toward a more extracted style of Sangiovese. Nonetheless, the grape's delicate nuances of dried berry, cassis, blackberry, red earth and pressed rose petal come through loud and clear. Very pretty mineral tones form dusty accents on the edges. The mouthfeel and tannic structure are firm and lively. This is a very attractive wine. Drink 2016-2026.

Another Brunello with lots of salty, mineral, clay and berry character. Ripe and fresh. Full body, chewy tannins and a long finish. Needs time to soften. Better in 2017.
VinoUS Media Review

Tar, smoke, licorice, black cherry compote and dark spices jump out of the glass in La Colombina's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino. Drink this powerful, masculine Brunello over the next handful of years. The virile style does not leave much to the imagination, but in the right setting the 2010 will provide plenty of immediate gratification. Ideally, the 2010 needs a few hours of air to allow the fruit to fully release. When it does, the 2010 is a real beauty. (Antonio Galloni)
Fine and complex, this Brunello has typical scent of cherries, forest floor, earth and spices. Smooth with elegant tannins, crisp acidity and a long, persistent finish and a beautiful, mineral character. Best to drink now to 2030.
