The 1990 Brunello di Montalcino Rennina exhibits a mature ruby/garnet color, and a remarkably open, sexy, lush, and opulent personality. Sweet, jammy aromas of red fruits, smoked nuts, roasted herbs, and spice soar from the glass of this expressive Brunello. Soft, expansive, and silky, this full-bodied wine reveals no hard edges, and tastes great, but seemingly is close to full maturity. There is no denying the seductive power and allure this Brunello possesses. Drink it over the next 7-10 years. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (516) 467-5907

Thick and ripe, still quite tannic, offering plum, cedar, tobacco, black cherry, earth and chocolate flavors. Somewhat drying on aftertaste. Angelo Gaja's debut vintage in Montalcino. Perhaps better in 1998???–null??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
