The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Spuntali wraps across the palate with layers of deep, dark fruit. Hints of tar, smoke, leather, licorice and incense add complexity as they wrap around the fruit. The 2006 boasts great intensity, richness and power. Val di Suga gave the 2006 two years in oak. Even though the wine was aged in smaller French oak barrels of 300 liters (versus casks for the 2007 Brunello) the wine has retained more freshness and energy. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.

Nuanced and backward in the glass, the 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Spuntali opens with a delicate mix of sweet violets, stone dust and blackberries. It sweeps across the palate with citrus-laced red berry fruit propelled by juicy acidity, as a subtle dark chocolate tinge adds a pleasant bitterness toward the close. Gently grippy tannins remain but don't get in the way as the 2006 finishes long, leaving hints of plum skin to linger. I recommend allowing this to air out a bit in bottle but not decanting so that its aromatics can come to the fore.
