Note di degustazione
Good bright medium red. Fresher on the nose than the 2007 version, offering scents of red fruits, dried flowers, licorice and chocolate mint. Moderately intense but on the lean side, with good energy and lift to its red fruit and licorice flavors, along with some rustic wood tannins. There's some richness here but the wine turned a bit dustier as it opened in the glass. A rather old-fashioned Brunello that could use a bit more lift.

The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva bursts from the glass with dark cherries, plums, smoke, tobacco and licorice. The wine shows good up-front richness, but then loses some of its intensity and depth on the finish. Early signs of development in the bouquet suggest the Riserva is best enjoyed over the next handful of years. This is an excellent choice for drinking today, all the wine needs is time in the glass to open up.

Deep ruby with orange tinge. Herb liqueur and meaty notes. Rich cherry-fruit palate cut through by acidity. Very extracted. Not for the fainthearted. Ends warm. (WS)
