Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 1998

9.4

Mini vertical ‘98, ‘06, ‘09. This was my favorite. Wonderful aromas of licorice,leather, plums and black cherry are all replicated on the palate. Except for the color, a red core and a brick rim one would be hard pressed to guess its age — 12 days ago

Amazing…27 years in the bottle.

THE Brunello. Full stop.
It is hard to explain the tactile experience of this wine. Once you have Soldera you can truly understand all the fuss about Brunello di Montalcino i reckon.
No others producers are close to his level, some have taken the same direction, but it is a long way to catch up.

Huge apple flavor definitely some wood and sweetness from the calvados. So rich. Almost like a dessert. Cooked apples with cream and apple sauce. — 7 months ago

This finished in Cognac barrels. It offers a much drier expression focused on wood characteristics. Savory and firm this would be good with some pate or foie. — 3 years ago
