Soldera will never show it's best after drinking DRC. Though not complaining.

1996 Soldera Brunello di Montalcini. Drank after the 1990 Guigal with bbq. Great. This had also been standing up for over a week, which gave a clean flavor to the wine. Not overly sweet, balanced tannins. Great.

1996 Soldera Riserva Brunello. Bday dinner w GD &Y at Il P. Drank this after the '98 Lucien Michel Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Another big wine-though not quite as peppery or inky as the Syrah. Pretty balanced, but a big punch of green veg and soil on it. Two big wines and we enjoyed them both. Drinking great

1996 Case Basse Di Gianfranco Soldera Brunello. At Charcoal w McC. So different to drink this after the Dujac Chambolle Musigny. This was also tight at first, despite more than an hour of decanting. Vegetal, mineral, dirt- very earthy notes all around. Great w steak.

1996 Soldera Riserva Brunello. Drank at dinner at Il Pistaiao w K, McC, and Judy. Awesome. K loves this wine. To me, it's a bit acidic and tart, but he preferred this to the Gaja, which followed.
