Note di degustazione
Wild strawberries and blueberries combine with Earl Grey, lavender, rose petals and spiced orange rinds as the perfumed, dramatic 2006 Brunello di Montalcino comes to life in the glass. This captures the unbridled energy of Poggio di Sotto, sweeping across the senses with a soothingly ripe blend of red and blue fruit elevated by a wave of cooling acidity. So expressive and elegant to the last moment, the 2006 leaves a coating of sweet, partially resolved tannins as plum skin and a cascade of inner florals resonate through the beautifully integrated, long, tension-filled finish. There's still plenty to look forward to with further maturity.

Wow, tremendous class. Toasted oak notes, long and linear, aristocratic and well built – a castle of a wine. (RH)
Medium red. A real essence of sangiovese on the nose: sour cherry, flowers, marzipan and a whiff of orange peel. Wonderfully lush and seamless, with an almost liqueur-like sweetness that does not go roasted. This medium-to-full wine boasts a velvety texture today but really needs time in bottle to show off its inherent complexity. Finishes with a broad dusting of tannins. This powerful, classy Brunello stayed fresh for 48 hours in the recorked bottle.
The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is an explosive, structured wine bursting with dark fruit. It is one of the most inward, brooding wines of the vintage. Black cherries, menthol, spices and new leather are some of the nuances that flow as this expansive Brunello literally covers every inch of the palate. This is a totally mesmerizing, sublime wine of the highest level.
