Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2006 (1500ml)
Soldera’s 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva has been utterly gorgeous on the many times I have tasted it. Expressive, floral and impeccably perfumed, the 2006 Riserva is surprisingly mid-weight and gracious in this vintage. Layers of sweet fruit with Burgundian overtones emerge as the wine gains depth and volume in the glass. Today, the 2006 is a delicate Brunello from Soldera rather than a powerhouse, but then again, these wines have a way of putting on weight in the bottle... Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Get out the thesaurus because I do not have enough adjectives to describe this wine. A similar wine to Rayas in that both wines share characteristics, which if you are being blinded, leads you to Burgundy. Has that wonderful iron fist in a velvet glove texture. Wonderful florals, and red fruit, soar out the glass like a SpaceX launch. In the mouth, the telltale structure that all great wines have. On the palate, waves of complex fruit, earth and perfectly judged acid and tannins caress your taste buds. A long layered finish that will have you shaking your head. A big thank you to the sommeliers .

Always stoked on how well these wines show. Beautiful primary red fruit with loads of secondaries, sweet tobacco, hard spice, dried flowers. Tannins soft but acid structure strong enough you can hold for a while. Yum. 2006 vintage

Beautiful, Sangiovese made in a way that resembles GC burgundy, it's always been said of this wine, but it's always great to see it confirmed.

Individual style, with sappy acidity and a naked fruit expression, enabling the minerality to take centre stage on the long and youthful finish. Loved it!

Bright red fruit, floral and funktified. Expressive young, wonder how long these wines age
