A wine which divided the panel. The parallels to the 1997 is clear, but the underlying concentration and nerve of the 1990 was IMHO clearly superior. Extremely intense nose; liqueur, prunes, almonds - simply breathtaking and highly complex. Great taste also, a bit bold at times, but again where the 1997 fails in a dull landing the 1990 has at least 5-6 turbo chargers to wipe out the word; dull. The 1990 fails to deliver an elegant element, but it’s difficult to ignore its concentration. (96)
1990 Soldera, Case Basse, Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
Phenomenal and as good I remember it at the big vertical in nowember 2006. A ravishing sweetness with fabulous red sangiovse fruit
