Note di degustazione
"Intoxicating nose of crushed flowers, dark earth, prune and wild herbs. The palate is so elegant yet rich and concentrated with flavours of morello cherry, mineral, baking spice and sweet almond. A silk thread of acidity runs through soft, supple tannins followed by a red berry infused finish. Perfectly balanced with a defined beginning, middle and long finish. An elegant and slightly leaner version of the 2004."

Lively deep but shaded ruby. Dusty and rich but not as freshly fruited as I would have liked. Rather short. (JR)
A gorgeous, captivating wine, the 2006 soars out of the glass with the most exotic display of amarena cherry, leather, sweet pipe tobacco, lavender, spice and amaro herbs. It is the sort of very rare wine that captivates all the senses, from the intellectual to the most hedonistic. Time in the glass brings out seemingly endless layers of floral and spice inflections. More than that, the 2006 is a rare wine that constantly develops in the glass, showing myriad layers of dimension as time passes, almost without notice. There are a few wines in the world that are more than just wine, they represent the history of a family, a place, an appellation. This is one of them.
Beautifully balanced, this elegant red features a skein of aromatic spice unraveling through the cherry compote, smoky espresso, fig cake and loamy earth flavors, layered with silky tannins in a harmonious frame. The mouthwatering finish echoes notes of brambly berry and forest floor. Drink now through 2030. 110 cases imported. Oct 16, www.winespectator.com
