The 2010 Flaccianello della Pieve is a spectacular effort that has only just started its evolutionary journey.  This wine has a long, long way to go.  The wine opens to a rich and masculine appearance, and there are iron-like notes that seem specific to this vintage. More mineral and granite stone add great definition.  At the core of this wine is a dark and savory serving of black cherry and spice that aspire to seamless integration. The tannins are still firmly on-guard, and this wine needs more time to complete its integration and start its elegant cellar evolution.  97 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.
