Har brug for dekantering. Drukket over to dage og var bedst den anden dag. Har meget syre første dag. Fantastisk duft og smag som er karakteristisk for Brunello.

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.

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.

Consensus 1st place out of 8 at wine club double-blind high end Brunellos. I'd say it's at peak.

Lovely stuff and a very '2006' Brunello
