Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera 1995

Tasting Notes

The medium garnet/ruby-colored 1995 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Case Basse's exotic nose of truffle juice, roasted meats, minerals, smoke, red and black fruits, licorice, Chinese black tea, and incense throws different nuances every ten seconds or so. It displays an Ausone-like austerity backed by powerful concentration and a steely delineation that's oh, so precise. At 14% alcohol, it is not a shy wine. It is a remarkable effort that must be tasted to be believed. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2020.
