Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2006

Get out the thesaurus because I do not have enough adjectives to describe this wine. A similar wine to Rayas in that both wines share characteristics, which if you are being blinded, leads you to Burgundy. Has that wonderful iron fist in a velvet glove texture. Wonderful florals, and red fruit, soar out the glass like a SpaceX launch. In the mouth, the telltale structure that all great wines have. On the palate, waves of complex fruit, earth and perfectly judged acid and tannins caress your taste buds. A long layered finish that will have you shaking your head. A big thank you to the sommeliers . — a year ago

It leaves the mark, doesn't it?

Grace and balance meets palpable tension and power. There’s a reason these wines are so revered. A changeling. Each re-visit revealed more nuance. Can’t say enough good things without a thesaurus. — 5 years ago
