Wine Spectator
A bruising, powerful red, packed with plum and blackberry,
but also stiff tannins. This will require some time to come together,
but there's adequate sweetness up front
Best from '14 through '27. |

Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate
The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura
emerges from the glass with a burst of tar, smoke, licorice, earthiness
and wild cherries. The sheer intensity and muscle of the fruit saturates
the palate from start to finish. The 2006 is an especially round,
seductive Poggio alle Mura. A few more years in bottle should help
the firm tannins soften. The Poggio alle Mura was vinified in steel
and aged predominantly (90%) in French oak barrels. Anticipated
maturity: '14 - '26. |
