Biondi Santi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 1990 750ml

Winespectator.com, Nov 30, 1996
A very good Brunello, in the old style, with slightly mature brick-red color and cedary, smoky, spicy character. There's a pretty richness to it, too, and a round, velvety texture.

Biondi Santi is a Tuscan producer synonymous with the wines of Brunello di Montalcino and, indeed, has claims to being the inventor of the style. The wines are fragrant and floral with savoury hints, with bright berry and cherry fruit and peppery spice over a backbone of fine tannins and acidity. Riservas are only released in the best years, can last for many decades and often need 15 or more years to be tasted at their best.
