super concentrated and wonderfully powerful

Along with the Blanchots this is the most floral wine in the range with its elegant nose of pear

but in 2000 the fruit has enough intensity to nearly cover the tannins

Tasted several times since my original review with consistent notes in the sense that they have become progressively more positive

spicy midweight with uncanny retention of spicy red cherry and redcurrant fruit

Siro Pacenti, Brunello Montalcino Vecchie Vigne other_regions super concentrated and wonderfully powerfulGiancarlo Pacentis 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne is another superb wine. The contours are more modern and the fruit leans towards the darker end of spectrum, yet all the elements are wonderfully in balance. Surprisingly open and expressive for a young Brunello, the 2010 is sure to improve with a little more time in the bottle. All of the Pacenti signatures are in place, though, and the house style is unmistakable. Antonio Galloni
