Not sure what to say about this one. I’m a huge fan of Beni di Batasiolo and picked this bottle and a bunch of different options when visiting the winery last September. The other bottles they had were young but opened up after a couple hours. This 2010 Brunate was dense with leathery tannins from opening and remained for a couple days. The dark cherry aroma could be detected across the room and could be tasted along with some fig and earth within a few hours, but the tannins were a bit overwhelming for the 3 days. Going to wait for some dust to collect on the other bottles of this.
