Parker Review:
The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino comes across as tightly wound and inward at this stage. With time in the glass the wines inner perfume gradually comes to life, even if this remains a reticent Brunello within the context of the vintage. Still, it is impossible not to admire the inner sweetness of the fruit and the impeccable polish of the tannins. All this needs is time, maybe a little more than usual in this vintage. Anticipated maturity 2016-2026. This is another solid set of wines from Canalicchio di Sopra Ripaccioli, an estate that continues to ratchet up quality in a meaningful way.

Other Notes:
Truffles, blackberries and blueberries on the nose. Full body, with silky tannins and a fruity finish. Much better in 2013 -James Suckling
