2010 Terre Nere Brunello di Montalcino "Campigli Vallone" the 2012 Vacqueyras Vieilles VignesWhat an aroma to this red with so much dried orange peel and tangerine character. Flowers, too. Full body, fine, chewy tannins and a structured finish. Ashy texture. A contrasting, lively wine. This is tannic for the vintage and needs time to soften. Will come together wonderfully with three to four years of bottle age. Barrel sample.
