The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Pinone bursts from the glass with an exciting array of black cherries, tobacco, smoke, licorice and incense. Sweet notes of violets, mocha, licorice and spices are woven into the textured, expansive finish. This is an exotic, full-bodied Brunello loaded with power and depth. I loved it. The Riserva was aged for 36 months in Slavonian oak casks. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. At press time the producer was changing importer.
