An aged Sangiovese of real beauty, the 2006 San Lorenzo Brunello di Montalcino is drinking gloriously right now. It shows a medium brick-orange core and a lighter brick rim. The nose is stunning, with baked cherry, dried orange slices, rose potpourri, fresh spearmint, and the green snap of tomato leaf. Sous-bois and a balsamic note emerge as the wine breathes, adding tertiary depth beneath the fruit. Smooth, fully resolved tannins and impeccably balanced acidity carry the medium body with ease to a lingering, savory finish.
