The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso offers plenty of richness and density in its soft, caressing fruit. The Pianrosso is made in a decidedly opulent style that pushes the limits of ripeness to the extreme. The wine's balance is acceptable today, but I am less convinced about the future. Both bottles I tasted were overripe and pruney. This is one of the disappointments among Montalcino's elite bottlings in 2006.

Almost opaque dark ruby with very small orange-tinged rim. Oatmeal and sweet red fruit. Ever so slight touch of browning apple (cask sample?) (WS)
