James Suckling, former Senior Editor and European Bureau Chief of Wine Spectator, has started his own project rating wines from around the world.  He has declared the 2006 vintage for Brunello is the new benchmark for the region, just like 1997 was more than a decade ago.  Robert Parker agrees by saying, “2006 looks to be superb as it is incredibly consistent.  Warm daytime temperatures alternated with cool evenings, which extended the grapes’ hang time and gave growers the luxury and peace of mind to harvest without being rushed. These weather conditions were ideal for achieving full phenolic ripeness along with the maximum development of aromatics, acidity and structure. In general these are big, full-bodied wines loaded with super-ripe fruit, but with plenty of stuffing underneath.”

James Suckling 97 points “Love the nose on this with blackberries, sweet tobacco, blueberries. Full body, with soft and silky tannins and a light jammy finish. Lots of dark fruits. Long finish. Loads going on in this one. Give it three to five years. Or more”
