Description
The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva shows plums offset by spicy citrus, as dusty dried florals and hints of animal musk come forward. This floods the palate with silky richness and ripe red and black fruits. There’s a pliant feel here, even as this remains youthfully structured and poised. Saturating spices and tannin mount toward the long finale, which is a bit balsamic and rich through the close, with a hint of spice cookie and minerals lingering on. While still adolescent in character, the 2006 seems to be on the verge of its peak, and it should continue to drink exceptionally well for another 10–15 years.
