Marchesi Antinori Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino 2006 3L Double Magnum

Intense ruby red in color with garnethues. The nose offers complex aromas ofred fruit and spice along with hints oftobacco and chocolate. On the palatethe wine is full, broad and well-balancedwith a very long finish.

95 Points - James Suckling

Flowers and citrus fruit galore on the nose. Opens to white truffles and plums. Full bodied, with chewy tannins and dried fruits. Goes from rustic to class. Give it bottle age to mellow. Best since 1997. Best after 2012.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

A glycerol-like texture joins licorice and menthol notes to lend this red an air of maturity, with a core of cherry and raspberry fruit. This is beautifully balanced, though the tannins will be even smoother in a few years. Fine, mineral aftertaste. Best from 2012 through 2025. 1,500 cases imported.
