  Blueberries, flowers and raspberries. Love the nose, like so many others. Full body, with fine tannins and a silky textured finish. So much going on here. Class. Best after 2013.

  La Poderina's Brunello shows impressive balance between its bright fruit and sassy spice components. On the close, the wine exhibits a tight, firm and penetrating feel that is carried forth by acidity and the natural firmness of the tannins.

  Good full red. Withdrawn but pure aromas of cherry and iron. Juicy red fruit and mineral flavors are a bit sullen today but show good depth. Began serious and savory but time in the glass brought more texture and sweetness. Finishes with ripe tannins and very good length. (ST)

  La Poderina booms out of the glass with a lot of up front, luscious, dark fruit that is so supple, smooth and rich you wouldn’t think it had the structure it does! This is a big, rich yet well balanced Brunello that you can drink now or age for another decade. The wine has great length and as it airs in your glass the spiced plum aromatics gradually emerge along with hints of wild cherry and together they bring your focus to the wine’s center while layers of earth, leather and wild fruit weave into a classic Brunello. Open enough now to have with your favorite Bistecca or perfectly paired with Wild Boar or game…or if you’re splurging for your Pasta!

  This is old world Sangiovese with lots of fruit, ripe blueberries, flowers and red raspberries, earthy with Tuscan dust and minerals, and huge acidity and well balanced tannins. This can keep for several years in the cellar or I would let it open for three to four hours. A must have for 2006 Brunelli, for yourself and a great gift for Dad, the boss or someone that you know will open it while you are around.
