Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Case Basse Soldera 1983 (750ml)

100 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 1983 Brunello di Montalcino, also from magnum, halts all conversation. Deep, dense and powerful, the 1983 boasts stunning depth and explosive intensity. Much like the epic 1990 Riserva, the 1983 is huge through the mid-palate and finish, with seemingly endless layers of fruit and magnificent concentration. Crushed rocks, smoke, tobacco and spices wrap around a core of dark red cherry and plum notes. The flavors are remarkably vivid in a dark, brooding Brunello that will continue to thrill those lucky enough to taste it for at least another twenty years." 01/15
