Wine Advocate Review
Rated 93+
The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a wonderfully plush, warm Brunello loaded with radiant fruit. Flowers, licorice and leather develop in the glass, adding dimension to this opulent, expressive wine. The sheer depth of the fruit and the open, sweet bouquet completely cover the tannins, making this one of the most approachable wines of the vintage. This remains a rich, full-bodied Brunello capable of delivering plenty of enjoyment now and over the next handful of years at a minimum. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.

Wine Tasting Notes
The vintage is a deep ruby red with reflections from crimson to garnet. A light vanilla bouquet is accompanied by spices and tobacco leaf flavors. Initially pleasantly sour, then wide and palatable, it has an amazing sapidity that will complement game, grilled red meat and mature cheeses.
