The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautifully centered, poised Brunello with lovely focus in its bright red fruit. This shows terrific persistence and fine balance all the way through to the finish, where hints of anise, flowers and mint add the final dash of complexity and nuance. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. Importer: Frederick Wildman and Sons Ltd, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700

There's richness in this round red, underscored by cherry, bitter almond and tobacco flavors. Shows fine balance and lingers on the finish. An easygoing style that's approachable now. Best from 2012 through 2022. 400 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
