1999 Riserva Soldera Brunello. Drank w K at dinner at Ago. Had this after the 1985 Santo Stefano Barbaresco. This was much bigger, heavier. Very rich and complex wine. Less fruit and more vegetal on the nose, which was unexpected. Loved it! — 11 years ago

Albesani is a vineyard on the same hill as Santo Stefano. Gorgeous, perfumed nose of dark cherry, rose, truffle, and underbrush. This is a tremendous sleeper of a wine. Good now and for 10+ years. — 10 years ago

Blend of Merlot and Cabernet franc, very smooth and satisfying. Beautiful color and elegant nose, pleasantly sweet. Rich in the mouth, perhaps too young but a really a good glass! 82/100 — 11 years ago
