The 2006 Le Piane from Boca is a fabulous wine from one of the smallest appellations in Northern Piedmont. Crushed flowers, mountain herbs and red fruit come together on an exceptionally elegant frame. In 2006, Le Piane has a little more richness than is often the case, while still retaining its typical firm style. This is a fascinating, contemplative wine that needs to be followed over several hours (or days!) in the glass. It is truly magnificent; in fact I think the 2006 is the best Le Piane I have ever tasted. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2026. Importer: Artisan Wine, Norwalk, CT; tel. (203) 866-4552

The 2006 Boca seems to be pulling in two directions at the moment. The wine shows the bright freshness and clarity that comes in a cooler, more acidic vintage such as this. In fact, the mouthfeel is intact, vibrant and fresh. However, the bouquet appears further along in terms of aging. On the nose, you get evolved aromas of dried fruit, cola, camphor ash, Indian spice and dried rose petal. That floral imprint is strong in this vintage. This was a classic vintage with steep diurnal shifts toward the end of the season that concluded with harvest on October 6th. The finish is compact, elegant and fragile.
