The 2006 Moscato d'Asti (tasted from magnum) did show pressure when I opened the bottle. This sample was closed with just a cork and no bottle cap. There is more residual sugar here compared to 2011 but less compared to 2017. The aromas are suppressed, but this vintage has less of that yeasty note I got with the 2011 vintage. There is a musty, grape skin, pulpy quality (like you get with Italian table grapes with more terpenes). This vintage offers more green characteristics than your standard Moscato with crushed white pepper or wild sage. However, you don't get any of those exuberant floral tones. This is a well-made wine with balanced sugar versus acidity. But aromatically speaking, it is muted. It's not hopeless, but the wine is tired and has lost much of its primary fruit, as is absolutely to be expected. To say that Moscato d'Asti has a 12-year drinking window would be a stretch.
