A compelling and richly extracted wine, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva il Divasco delivers the goods in this classic vintage. La Rasina has done a great job of harnessing the more structured and opulent side of Sangiovese. This wine will appeal to those who like Brunello with the proverbial capital "B." The bouquet is stitched tight with dark fruit, spice and leather, and there is a seamless quality that feeds its generous intensity. The tannins are well managed and show successful integration. Sweet notes of pipe tobacco, cigar box and dark fruit drive forward the wine's powerful momentum. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Hard for me to get past how green the nose is. Super stemmy, almost to the point of underripe Cab. Palate has some nice texture but like TCA, it's hard to escape the greenness of the wine.

Beautiful color. Really developing well. Beautiful cigar, sweet leather, rose, chocolate covered cherry cream candy. Still very good tannin structure and acidity that develops on the top of the tongue. There’s a lot of life left to this wine.

No Brunello expert here. Full bodied, but not overly, good finish.
