Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera
Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Ever developing to the last. I enjoyed it very much, especially after the balsamic-ey VA aromatics/flavors dissipated a bit. It was a treat. I suspect I won't be fortunate enough to come across this vintage again. Thanks for sharing, Geoff:)

Brilliant. Elegant and well balanced. Superb. Outshone the Biondi Santi - albeit completely different character. Love the smooth caressing finish. Beautifully balanced

A Brunello of class & finesse that reminded me of a great vintage of Rayas that was floral & elegant showing notes of red cherry, berry fruit, leather, sweet baking spices, rose petal, violets & tobacco.

Sweet cherry, leather, tobacco, very floral & elegant showing more finesse than power with rose petal & violet notes. Soldera is in a league of its own!
