Offering an effusive bouquet of truffle, plum and black cherry, this is even fresher than the La Casa '90. This still has time to give, with fine tannins and a long, fruit- and spice-flecked aftertaste.—Non-blind Altesino/Caparzo Retrospective (April 2022). Drink now through 2035. — BS

Altesino's two sensational 1990 Brunellos the Brunello di Montalcino and the Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli offer intense perfumes of jammy cherry fruit tobacco smoke herbs and licorice immense richness and extraction of flavor full body and gobs of glycerin and alcohol. The single vineyard Montosoli possesses a thicker richer texture more depth and length and a slightly more focused personality. Both can be drunk today but promise to evolve for 10-20 years.
