Tasting Notes: If you have ever had a hug from Olga Peloso, the winemaker of this glorious Brunello, you will never forget it. For further information on this. Please contact Senior Wine Advisor Jim Winston. I sat down Saturday with our staff and we polished of the whole bottle. The wine is a wonderful blend of power and finesse. Its actually right in the middle of two of our favorite wine. It has the opulence and richness of Romitorio matched with the length, complexity and layering of Canalicchio This wine is easy to enjoy. The 2006 vinatge for Brunello is a classic, a new benchmark for the region and is being hailed as the modern day 1997, the finest Tuscan vintage from the last century. This is one of the key vintage releases of the year and no cellar would be complete without the great 2006 Brunello. Donna Olga is one of our favorites. It is a wine we have sold back to 1997 and we have a track record on and it is a Buy!! I had a bottle of 1999 at the end of last year and it was just coming into its own and with a breathe, superb! Parker: The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a very pretty, flashy Brunello. In this vintage I find more elegance, freshness and balance than has often been the case. Freshly cut flowers, smoke, menthol, cherries, plums, underbrush and tobacco are some of the notes that come to life on the vivid, textured finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.
