Potazzine Gorelli’s 2010 Brunello ranks with the best from that vintage. It has a beguiling combination of dark cherry-like flavors, firm — not hard — tannins and a paradoxical delicacy. Everything is in harmony. Flavors unfold as it sits in the glass and dance across the palate. Great freshness in the finish reinforces the pleasure. The only problem will be finding the wine because they didn’t make much of it…only about 16,000 bottles. It’s worth a search.
