How about a 98/100(Parker) rated TOP BRUNELLO from the BEST VINTAGE-2010-IN TUSCANY in 25 years for UNDER $80? Definitely a "no brainer", 6x6 packs in SA and we got them all....YUM! Those 6x6 packs will be SOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG GONE by tonight!
98 points Parker, 95 points Wine Spectator #4 Wine of Year 2015 in the Wine Spectator top 100 wines of the year $78.95...A STEAL, 6X6 packs -wood-and that WILL BE IT! At that PRICE/RATING RATIO, buy a 6 pack to drink now and one to cellar for the future...if we have any left...

Feb 2015 | Monica Larner | 98 | Drink: 2017 - 2035 | (85) | | The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a striking wine that shows uncompromising varietal pureness, albeit in a most concentrated and elaborate form. This is what great Sangiovese is all about. There's so much happening on the nose and the wine brings you to cherry, spice, licorice, cured meat, pressed rose and grilled meat in equal measure. No one element overpowers the next. The mouthfeel is also tight and bright with the kind of fruit intensity that promises long cellar aging. This Brunello is only at the beginning of a long road ahead. The longer the wine stays in the glass, the more it offers in terms of complexity and intensity. This is a true standout that can be enjoyed for up to 20 years ahead.
Fabrizio Bindocci and his son Alessandro are the most accomplished father-son winemaking team I can think of today in Italy. Il Poggione is owned by Leopoldo and Livia Franceschi, but the phenomenal Bindocci duo are very much in the limelight. They excel in every aspect of winemaking, from vineyard management to wine marketing. Never have I encountered a Il Poggione Brunello as beautiful as the one released this year. This is one of the highest expression of Sangiovese you will ever taste.

Rich, with excellent density, ripe cherry and plum fruit, and a well-integrated structure. Licorice, earth and tobacco notes add depth while this cruises to a long, tobacco- and mineral-tinged finish. Shows balance and grip. Best from 2018 through 2033. 18,000 cases made.
