The 2006 La Torre pours a slightly hazy garnet color; browning with some rim variation. Medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous and showing the typical nature of the vintage; full, round, generous. The fruit is mostly desiccated in profile with leather, espresso, chocolate, earth and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. The structure is very well integrated but keeping everything propped up. The finish is long, lovely. Drink now. I wouldn’t hold these past 2026.

Sweet bark, cherries and rhubarb over a lot of dense earthy tannins. Really good.

Super smooth and mellow. Mature and fruity but not sweet.

Beautiful vintage Brunello. Rich and complex. Great balance of spices, herbs, fruitiness and nuttiness.
