The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Gualto comes across as compact and linear, with little of the expressiveness I expect from this important vintage. There is some dark fruit, but little in the way of real excitement. I am not sure this wine ever had the stuffing to support 36 months in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2021.
