  April 15, 2024 - Last bottle of this wine and it's still drinking beautifully. Savoury and refined with some red cherry fruit but tertiary flavours of umami and forest floor more prominent.

  March 31, 2024 - I love this wine's openness and richness which derives from it's south Montalcino home. It's a beautifully seductive wine which doesn't score higher as I feel that it is a bit hefty and missing that ethereal, something untouchable below the surface that elevates a wine to the realms of greatness.
  
  However, I am enjoying this very much as I write as it has plenty of freshness still it's tertiary notes are beginning to show. Liquorice, prune, cedar sap, dark cherry, mushroom and wild violets. The tannins are just about resolved and I imagine this will be drinking at it's peak (for those of us who like our wines with age) by and just beyond it's 20th birthday.
  
  Lovely stuff and a very '2006' Brunello

  March 23, 2024 - Great bouquet of ripe berries, prunes, pipe tobacco, spices. Wonderful bouquet, silky, smooth, sweet, dark berries, jam, hedonistic, spicy, leading to a long finish. Relatively dark, yet with nice fruit and sweetness as well as a nice acidic bite.

  March 18, 2024 - I felt it was in the edge, but interesting. A color of almost brown, but not bad
