La Fuga Brunello di Montalcino 2006     88/100
A long and penetrating nose of smoky sottobosco, pomegranate, and charred ripe apples frames an attack of surprisingly pit fruit and strawberry on the palate which is framed nicely by a balanced escort of vibrant acids and chewy tannins.  This is a hands off brunello where the winemaker simply allowed the land to make the wine without to much fuss or intervention.  At the table the wine will excel further giving it a chance to give the tannins something to play with as will a good 4-6 year sleep in the cellar.

Gorgeous aromas of baked red apple and sappy ripe grapes combine on the nose to immediately entice. Big and balanced, with a shock of watermelon and spicy cherry tones underneath, this could vie for my pick of the vintage. Love the peach notes underneath. A great combination of lively fruit packing muscle underneath.

Dusty dried spices and earth meet on the nose while a huge core of black fruit on the attack ties effortlessly to the sweet tannins that sit courtside. Fine effort.
