Brunello-2006-riserva Wine-Spectator
The news arrived with the “Wine Spectator Advance” which anticipates via internet the best ratings which a few days later will arrive with the real magazine. The Brunello Riserva 2006 is the first among the “Highly Recommended” which is in fact the first and most important list, after which come the selections “to collect” “intelligent buy” “best rapport quality-price”.
<<Well, to see your wine top of the list after the words Wine Spectator is a wonderful experience>> says Donatella Cinelli Colombini with great enthusiasm. Whereas Valérie Lavigne, the consultant wine makers has a more controlled reaction when she gets the news while in the vineyards for her summer visit << J’ai toujours su que c’est un bon Brunello!>> she commented looking askance at Donatella, as if to say: I told you so! In fact the Brunello Riserva 2006 -5 stars- is obtaining plebiscite excellent ratings from all over the world. A while ago “Wine Advocate” rated it 93/100.

This is how Bruce Sanderson director of Wine Spectator tastings and supervisor of the European and Napa Valley tastings which take place at New York commented the wine – A savoury style, with salty liquorice, cherry, plum, herb and underbrush aromas and flavours. Big, yet balanced in its oversized way, with a terrific aftertaste of saline and liquorice. Best from 2015 through 2030.
<<There’s no two ways about it, he really liked the Riserva from Casato Prime Donne>>commented Donatella Cinelli Colombini and then with a sigh << I would rally like to meet this Bruce Sanderson!!!>>
