Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2011
The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a viscerally thrilling wine that takes hold of the palate and never lets up. Waves of dark fruit sit on a textured frame of incomparable class. The wine blossoms over time, with beautifully centered red fruit, tobacco, minerals and scorched earth, all of which flow in a rich, expansive style. The explosive finish is utterly beautiful. This is a superb effort from Sesta di Sopra. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031. 95+ points.

Amazing aromas of blackberries, sandalwood and dried flowers. Full body, with chewy tannins and a powerful mouth feel of loads of fruit. Love the wet earth, meat and dark fruits. Needs another three to four years to soften.
