2006 Brunello Pre-Sell A Great Vintage and a Must For Any Collection of the Best
The 2006 vintage for Brunello is a superlative vintage. It's a classic.
Parker has already rated other noble parts of Tuscany in a major way. 2006 Chianti Classico got 96 points and the Super Tuscans from the Coast, the area known as the Maremma which includes Bolgheri, in 2006 got 97 points.
These two scores equal or are the highest he has ever given a vintage.
Wine Spectator has given the vintage a whopping 96 points calling the wines “Complex and powerful wines that impress with ripe yet fresh fruit and firm yet silky tannins.”
Winemakers throughout Tuscany are lauding the quality of the 2006 vintage.
Enologist Carlo Ferrini who makes the Romitorio Brunello we are showcasing below commented and I quote, “This is one of the finest vintages I can remember”. Leonardo Raspini of Ornellaia commented that the wines at this point are more complex than in 2004. Ferrini also commented that we have the concentration of fruit and overall quality of two classic vintages 1997 and 2001.
Brunello are some of the most sought after red wines in the world.
If you love the the world's best age-able big reds, Super Tuscans; Bordeaux, Napa Cabs and the finest Brunello. This is a definite buy vintage. No cellar will be complete with out some of the finest 2006 Brunello.
I have selected three of my favorite producers.
Each gets massive scores. What's more, I have a personal relationship with each one going back to 1993. I can tell you that their wines age brilliantly well.
These are three of the best, they are serious about what they do, have proven their collectibilty and their unrelenting long term pursuit of Perfection. |
