Every bit as monumental as I had hoped, Salvioni's 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is rich, towering and explosive, with fabulous depth and intensity. Dark cherry, smoke, spice, leather and plum gradually open up in a powerful Brunello that still needs time to soften. Epic in its dimension, the 2006 remains one of the very best vintages ever made here.
Wonderful aromas of dried porcini and dark fruits follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a fruity, lightly jammy finish. Fruity and interesting young red. Better after 2013.
