Lot #799. Soldera Brunello di Montalcino Case Basse 1990

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 98 RP.
“The 1990 Brunello di Montalcino from Case Basse is a modern day classic, as well as one of the greatest Brunellos I have ever tasted. It exhibits a deep ruby color, and a magnificent, rich, complex nose of roasted herbs, sweet, jammy, red and black fruits, cedar, spice, and oak. The wine is extremely powerful and full-bodied, with layers of highly concentrated, ripe fruit. Despite its massive size, it retains a gracefulness and sense of elegance. The velvety texture and layers of fruit conceal the wine's high tannin. It is approachable young, but should age effortlessly . . . . Kudos to proprietor Gianfranco Soldera.” Wine Advocate #104, Oct 1996
Provenance: The Yuzu Cellar
Notes: 4 neck, 2 base neck, very lightly scuffed labels.
