  The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is by far the best wine I have tasted from Friggiali. There is a vibrancy to the fruit and finesse to the tannins that elevate this Brunello well above the customary level at this address. This translucent, medium-bodied Brunello impresses for its articulated bouquet, well-delineated fruit and overall sense of harmony. I loved it. Subtle hints of licorice, menthol, earthiness and French oak linger on the round, impeccable finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2026. (AG)

  This Brunello is characterized by dark, dense extraction that seems packed tight with black cherry, pressed rose, spice, root beer and toasted nut. The wine feels full and opulent on the close but fresh acidity stops it from being heavy or chewy.

  The 2006 vintage for Friggiali was outstanding; it offers the more classic, focused structure and aromatics of the 2006 vintage which is one of the best vintages in Montalcino’s history. Yet there is a layer of sweet, complex fruit than bursts forth on the palate giving a lush, full, smooth flow across your palate that finishes, clean and becomes the center of attention as the finish seems to last and last. This is a wine you can drink now with a little decanting and you’ll be able to age it for another decade easily!

  This is classic 2006 Brunelli, beautifully layered, and expressive. It's bursting with sweet, ripe strawberries, black cherries intermingled with subtle earth and toasted oak notes, minerals, leather and a hint of bitter chocolate on the finish, with round and soft tannins and a long aftertaste. This is a must for the cellar, and is in my cellar and will be there till its tenth birthday and maybe a bottle to celebrate its fifthteen. (It will be tough keeping my hands off it though.) This is what 2006 is all about, structure and balance - it’s all going on here. Buy a few bottles, then forget about them, or give this at least two hours of decanting. Warning on this as it should be sold out soon.
