Deep ruby with orange rim. Very ripe and ever so slightly stalky. Saddle. Very mellow and round on the palate with ongoing stalky tannin. Seems ready now. (WS)

Score 90+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2011

Good full red. Sexy if somewhat funky aromas of currant, marzipan, game and leather. Sweet, lush, very ripe and concentrated, with good fat and power to the flavors of plum, bitter cherry, chocolate, licorice and brown spices. A bit stern now owing to its bite of acidity and big chocolatey tannins but seems built to reward aging.

Score 92/100 · Drink 2013-2020, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2011

The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a big, juicy wine bursting with dark fruit, sage, rosemary, licorice and new leather. This undeniably attractive, opulent Brunello reveals terrific length and harmony in a full-throttle style. The finish is round, creamy and impeccably balanced.
