The third year we’ll be buying some of this from Italy. The [link2post id=”1426″]2005 was very nice last year[/link2post], how will the 2006 compare?
This seems quite a lot riper than the 2005, it seems rounder on the nose. A good rich palate with plenty of glycerol as well as a refreshing sparkle. Very nice fruit. Good length, too, but above all it is really charming. This is clearly a good vintage and we should go for it!
