2006 Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG

 "Again a fabulous perfume here, massive tobaccoey and ashy background, pure ripe cherry fruit, this is fabulously complex. So much ash and sweetness against the sour cherry and that creamy, sensual tobacco and smoke. Such juiciness and such elegant length, arguably a slightly lighter style, but has structure to age and is so deeply attractive." - 96/100, Tom Cannavan
