The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is one of the richest and most powerful wines of the vintage. Super-ripe blackberries, blueberries, mocha, new leather and sweet spices flow from this textured, opulent Brunello. The muscular fruit powers through to the finish, accompanied all the way by firm tannins from the oak. The sheer concentration and depth of fruit are remarkable, but ultimately this comes across as a heavy, labored Brunello with limited finesse.
There's plenty of fresh strawberry and currant on the nose. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a solid core of ripe fruit. Long and caressing. Rich and dense, yet balanced and refined. Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.
