This is spectacular. Intense and driven with deep plum, dried herbs, blood, tang. Loads of character and intensity. Great stuff

Soldera’s 1990 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is stunning, as it has always been. This bottle is a bit shocked from travel, but still magnificent!

A bucket list wine. Superb freshness, power and intensity. Still vibrant and intense. Maybe not the best bottle ever, but that shows just how great this wine is.

Corked - one of the most disappointing corked bottles I've ever had. Hands down the greatest Brunello I've ever had in my life when on. :(

I can't believe it was corked! There should be a law...

A fleshy, ripe broad palate. Plum, damson, and settled fruit. Still very fresh and has great vigor but rounded and supple. Delicious

1990 Gianfranco Soldera Riserva Brunello. Drank at Flora Farms in Cabo. Much bigger wine with higher acid than the Echezaux. Great food wine we really enjoyed.

Wow, so much freshness and life. Bright red fruit, cedar, tobacco, amaro. Opened 3+ hours, could use much more.
