  • The 2006 La Torre pours a slightly hazy garnet color; browning with some rim variation. Medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous and showing the typical nature of the vintage; full, round, generous. The fruit is mostly desiccated in profile with leather, espresso, chocolate, earth and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. The structure is very well integrated but keeping everything propped up. The finish is long, lovely. Drink now. I wouldn’t hold these past 2026. Grazie Tim!

  • Acquistato e bevuto lo stesso giorno.
    Appena aperto tappo integro colore rosso vivo con qualche punta aranciata e con un'unghia molto larga. Nel corso del tempo con l'aria il rosso è diventato più profondo e intenso, ma mai da "vero brunello" il messaggio era chiaro: è a fine vita. Infatti dopo in naso alcolico e poco interessante il palato conferma la necessità dell'immediato beva. Tannini risolti, liscio piacevole, buono. Qualità prezzo in linea. Chi ce l'ha non aspetti un minuto di più: lo apra e lo beva.

  • Wonderful old school style brunello. 90% large botie, 10% barrique. Beautiful elegance to this wine. shows great cherry and spice with delicate red floral characteristics. This wine is all about finesse.
