The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Gualto comes across as compact and linear, with little of the expressiveness I expect from this important vintage. There is some dark fruit, but little in the way of real excitement. I am not sure this wine ever had the stuffing to support 36 months in cask.
Ripe plum, cherry, licorice and leather aromas and flavors mark this rich, juicy red. Harmonious and expressive, with a fine finish of leather and balsamic. Still needs a few years to absorb its dense tannins. Best from 2014 through 2030.
