Description

The wine shows less volume compared to some of the more opulent vintages, but it absolutely excels in terms of length and finishes. It offers amazing drive and momentum that are fueled by the extremely fine nature of the wine's texture and the seamless unity of its flavours. It treads in light and delicate footsteps that will carry it far into the future. As they say in Italian: "Piano piano si va lontano"

Review

This 2006 has guts and glory, there is stuffing here. The exotic heat comes through like a pan-seared filet steak, nothing more than a flash fire that gives way to succulence. More exoticism with the dancing array of flavours, from plums, damson and spices to forest fruits and heather then the menthol kicks comes in. You just want to linger over this glass, pick apart the individual flavours and get to understand what it is saying.

Tasting Profile

Palate
Sweet tobacco and berry with hints of currants. Full, soft and silky. Lots of fruit and a long finish. It's subtle, dense and sophisticated.
