Rich, fruity even after a decade. Tannins nicely resolved. All in all, an A+ bottle. I bought this wine in Montepulciano and was told by the seller that the 2006 was an especially good vintage. I bought both the 2006 and the 2008, and found each of them delightful and apt expressions of the local terroir. I would buy more, but the stuff isn't sold anywhere in the U.S.

Ready and willing. Tannins largely resolved, nice complexity, a little woody, but quite delicious.
