  • 2006 Piero Talenti Brunello di Montalcino - Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino (7/1/2014)
    PNP after open for 45 minutes or so. I had 4 of these and couldn’t wait to drink my first one after having a glass a few months ago at a dinner with wine buddies. This was pretty much in the same place as in April. surprisingly open for business with terrific balance and a compelling nose of cherry, spice and cedar. This is really vibrant and weightless for the power and intensity. This is what I would expect organic to taste like even though this likely isn’t. This is a Brunello to own and drink regularly. This was a steal at $44. (92 pts.)

Thanks for the report. Talenti consistently makes great sangiovese wines – their 2006 Riserva Brunello was available for $40 when released.
