Modern, ripe and powerful, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Campogiovanni Il Quercione is an opulent and thickly layered red wine that flaunts its many positive attributes with flair and confidence. First, there is the fullness and plushness of the wine that is backed by beautifully ripe cherry and blackberry. Those aromatic accents are rendered more complex and interesting thanks to background notes of spice and cured leather. The wine's appearance is dark and thickly concentrated. Soft tannins wrap over the palate but the wine shows a long trail of power and determination.
