95/100Eric Guido,Vinous
The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino opens with an enticing whiff of lavender and black tea leaves, hints of violet pastilles and crushed blackberries. This is wildly fresh, with stunning acidity and bright red berry fruits, displaying an almost impossible liveliness for its age. It finishes crunchy and long, with a licorice and tart blackberry tinge, as the slightest tug of residual tannins lingers under an air of blue and purple inner florals. What an absolute beauty this is and it is still slowly maturing in bottle.
