A mix of sweet cherry raspberry floral tobacco tea and balsamic flavors mingle in this complex and layered red. The acidity and tannins are present and well-integrated as this remains elegant and harmonious on the lingering finish. There's a racy aspect with a tobacco and mineral aftertaste. Best from 2016 through 2035. 923 cases made. ?BS

The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva comes across as a bit reticent. It reveals lovely detail and nuance but without the firmness of many other young vintages. Today the 2006 is quite accessible. I will be surprised if it doesn't start shutting down at some point. Regardless the 2006 appears to be built more on finesse rather than power. Freshly cut flowers hard candy and licorice are layered into the finish. -- Antonio Galloni

Some floral and gorgeous notes on the nose with strawberries and cherries. Full-bodied and very powerful with chewy tannins and bright citrusy acidity. Very long powerful and intense. Needs time to come together with the acidity. Better after 2015.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
Biondi-Santi performs exceptionally well in elegant vintages like 2006. This wine is balanced and fresh with lingering notes of wild berry white cherry cola spice and dark chocolate. Age this wine 10 years or more.
