The 2006 Luce stands out as one of the most potent wines from its vintage. It exudes super-ripe blackberries, blueberries, mocha, new leather, and sweet spices, creating a textured and opulent Brunello. The muscular fruit dominates until the finish, accompanied by sturdy oak-derived tannins throughout.

Vinous
(15.5% alcohol): Saturated red. Strong oak influence to the aromas of violet, cherry skin and licorice. Juicy, pure and tightly wound, with a penetrating quality to the dark berry skin, coffee and dark chocolate flavors. Surprisingly perfumed for a wine with such high alcohol. Finishes very long and sweet, with powerful toothcoating tannins and a strong impression of extract. Lay this one down. (This was much better than my first bottle, which showed a more roasted quality and lacked lift.)Stephen Tanzer1st July 2011
