Well past peak. Would have been good four or five years ago.

Big, def shows the ripeness of the vintage, a b it warm on the palate, could use a bit more structure to support all the fruit, surprisingly advanced at 10 years

Lots of leather and herbal hints. Palate has really mellowed since release with velvety tannins.

Dark cherries, dusty, plenty of refreshing acid.

4.2 for 2006 dark to medium color with a light fruity nose with a fairly full slightly tannic complex body and a long acidic aftertaste.

We had this on 6/26/17. Orange rim of an older wine. The tannins smoothed out over several hours. The bouquet and palate had dark cherry, chocolate and leather. Smooth finish to this medium bodied wine.

I know very little about brunello, but this was excellent. Lots of cherry and earth.
