Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
“The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a wonderfully plush, warm Brunello loaded with radiant fruit. Flowers, licorice and leather develop in the glass, adding dimension to this opulent, expressive wine. The sheer depth of the fruit and the open, sweet bouquet completely cover the tannins, making this one of the most approachable wines of the vintage. This remains a rich, full-bodied Brunello capable of delivering plenty of enjoyment now and over the next handful of years at a minimum. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.93+ points”

Avid collectors consider Brunello di Montalcino the “King of Italian wines” but most require years of cellar time before maximum enjoyment - at which point their value has increased so much they're rarely (if ever) affordable. That's why we're so thrilled to discover Mastrojanni Brunello di Montalcino 2006, a delicious modern-styled gem primed for “drink now” enjoyment (thanks to five years of bottle age already) with any Italian menu but also built for long term enjoyment, as well. Awarded 93+ plus from Parker's ultra point-stingy critic Antonio Galloni and from one of the best vintages of the decade, this is a “don't-miss” for Brunello lovers. Plus, we've negotiated a special deal with the winery which means a 20% savings/ bottle off the retail price (!) + complimentary shipping for Porthos subscribers. Since the winery's new owners (the family that owns Illy Coffee) took over, they are determined to get it in your glass as they know that once you taste Mastrojanni you'll join its devout collector following. Now is the time to stock up on affordable, yet delicious, ready-to-drink Brunello, the King of Italian wine.
