The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino shows off notable intensity in its dark, super ripe fruit. Today the tannins are rather imposing, which makes it difficult for the wine to be fully expressive. Another few years in bottle should help. Sweet balsamic, mentholated notes add texture and elegance on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2021.
