| Robert Parker 90 | |||||
| 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. | |||||

| Robert Parker 93 | |||||
| "The 1990 Sammarco may prove to be a worthy rival to the glorious 1985. The saturated ruby/purple/garnet color is followed by an intense yet youthful fragrance of ripe black fruits, vanilin, and minerals. Full-bodied, rich, beautifully delineated and structured, it possesses considerable body, tannin, and extract. Although accessible, it is extremely young and ideally should have another 2-4 years of cellaring. It should age well for 15+ years. As I have said many times, Sammarco always reminds me of a top Graves, because of the tobacco/mineral component it often displays. This outstanding Tuscan producer has been exceptionally consistent over the last decade, so it is not surprising that the 1990s performed brilliantly." | |||||
| Wine Spectator 91 | |||||
| Easily lives up to its reputation. Classy, thick and loaded with chewy tannins. This offers rich tobacco, cherry and berry flavors wrapped I toasty vanilla. Full body, full tannins. | |||||

| The 1990 Campaccio, a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, displays a big, smoky, herb, and blackcurrant-scented nose, superb richness, a huge, chewy, full-bodied palate, admirable purity, and dazzling length. Supple enough to be drunk now, it promises to last for 10-15 years. | |||||
1991 Sassetti Livio - Brunello di Montalcino (750ml) |

||||
| Robert Parker 90 | |||||
| The 1991 Brunello di Montalcino is no 1990, but it is still an outstanding wine. It exhibits a deep ruby/garnet color, a fragrant, licorice, smoky, roasted meat and herb-scented nose, sweet, black-cherry, tobacco, cedar, and animal-like flavors, dense concentration, and a long, surprisingly soft, velvety-textured finish. I was surprised by how forward, delicious as well as complex this 1991 Brunello already is. It should drink well for at least 10-12 years. | |||||

| The medium ruby-colored 1994 Brunello di Montalcino reveals an amber hue at the edge. The wine's sweet, expansive fruit, sexy, open-knit, velvety texture, and flavors of Asian spices, cedar, black fruits, and earth make for a captivating concoction. | |||||

| The 1995 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna di Pianrosso is a full-bodied, backward, seriously-endowed, muscular offering requiring an additional 3-5 years of bottle age. It is not for those who are unable to defer their gratification. The wine exhibits Asian spice, black cherry, and grilled meat aromas and flavors intermixed with dried Provencal herb and underbrush notes. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2016. | |||||

| A superb single-vineyard Merlot from a high-quality Tuscan producer, the 1995 Masseto vino da tavola exhibits a saturated dark ruby/purple color, in addition to a sweet nose of jammy black cherries, chocolate, and smoky new oak. The vintage's high tannin level is present, but it is complemented by admirable concentration, glycerin, and spice. Cellaring is required. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2016. | |||||
| Wine Spectator 95 | |||||
| This was one of the first clean, modern Massetos and it's holding up beautifully. Plenty of fruit and chocolate on the nose that follows through to the palate. Full-bodied, soft and round, with chocolate and cedar flavors. Very long.--Masseto non-blind vertical. | |||||

| Argiano's 1996 Solengo, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Merlot, and Syrah (500 cases produced), is a blockbuster effort. The wine boasts a saturated ruby/purple color, as well as an excellent nose of jammy blackberries, cassis, pain grille, and spice. Full-bodied, with superb depth, a layered texture, low acidity, and a blockbuster finish, this is an impressively-endowed, smoky, rich, exotic, accessible, dry red that should age nicely for 12-15 years. | |||||

| A classic Case Basse with a long life ahead of it. The nose is restrained at first, but with aeration opens up to reveal remarkable complexity. On the palate: dried cherry and blackberry fruit mingled with exotic herbs and spices. A full-bodied, but not top heavy Brunello. The longer it is open the better it gets. Give it time. This is great Brunello, and rated FIRST by our tasting panel in 2007. | |||||

| Altesino's medium to full-bodied 1997 Brunello di Montalcino boasts a dense ruby/garnet color in addition to aromas of creosote, new saddle leather, figs, plums, dried herbs, and white flowers. It is a meaty, complex, accessible, concentrated yet still young, vigorous Brunello with good underlying acidity and moderate tannin. It can be drunk now or cellared for 12-15 years. | |||||

| Dark garnet with a ruby rim. Lovely scents of plum, mocha and tobacco regale the nose. Sweet on entry, then nicely delineated, with flavors of plum jam, licorice, mint and tar.

| The dark ruby/garnet-colored 1997 Brunello di Montalcino boasts an intoxicating perfume of new saddle leather, cherry jam, dried Provencal herbs, and spice box. This complex, medium to full-bodied, supple-textured 1997 can be drunk early because of its fat and glycerin, but it promises to age well for 10-12 years. | |||||
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 91 | |||||
| Deep ruby with a garnet core. Opens with appealing smells of sottobosco, tobacco, wet soil and spicy cedar. Redolent of overripe fruit, primarily plum jam, and a heady mix of earthy flavors and fresh road tar. In spite of a pronounced acid bite the abundant tannins are suave, and there is an impression of density and weight. The long finish carries an aftertaste of roasted chestnuts. The acids seem slightly intrusive but the wine intensity and zest are nonetheless quite attractive | |||||

| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 86 | |||||
| Medium to dark garnet, with ruby highlights. Reticent aromas of sottobosco and tobacco. Rather unconvincing flavors of licorice, rhubarb and camphor, along with an unexpected and jarring note of tropical fruit. This straightforward midweight is fairly juicy, even a bit tart, and the tannins are ripe and soft. Finishes with a note that reminded me of lapsang souchong tea. | |||||

| A fine offering is the 1998 Vigna d'Alceo. An opaque purple-colored blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and small quantities of Syrah and Petit Verdot, it is a large-scaled wine with exceptional elegance and complexity as well as more power and richness than the Sammarco. A sweet entry on the palate is followed by abundant quantities of smoky, complex, black currant fruit intermixed with lead pencil and vanillin flavors. Medium-bodied, beautifully knit, and suave, it possesses sweet tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2017. | |||||
| Wine Spectator 91 | |||||

| Deep, dense aromas of porcini and wild strawberry turn to fresh tobacco. Full-bodied, with tight and refined tannins. The finish goes on for minutes. A big, muscular, powerful Montosoli. Austere now; needs years of bottle age. Best after 2009. 1,500 cases made. | |||||
| Robert Parker 91 | |||||
| The single-vineyard 1999 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli, riper and spicier in aroma than the regular bottling, full and with interesting notes of anisette and tar, features flavors of an important richness and density, slightly backward but very substantial and sustained. The additional intensity on the finish suggests another fifteen years of good drinking ahead. | |||||

| An extraordinarily elegant, complex offering, this 1999 was produced from 100% barrique aged Prugnolo Gentile. It possesses a deep ruby color in addition to a sweet perfume of saddle leather, dried herbs, cherries, almond extract, and spice box. The complex aromatics are followed by a medium-bodied wine with excellent palate penetration, sweet tannin, and juicy, tangy acidity. Consume it over the next 4-5 years. | |||||

| Robert Parker 93 | |||||
| The Sammarco, a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Sangiovese, has been one of Tuscany's great classics for nearly two decades. The 1999 Sammarco is tight and closed, but wow, what potential! A dense ruby/purple color is followed by a sweet nose of high class cigar tobacco intermixed with smoke, minerals, black currants, and vanilla. In the mouth, it is dense, medium to full-bodied, with superb richness, purity, and overall harmony. Cellaring is mandatory for this backward, still primary 1999. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025. A classic! | |||||

| Robert Parker 96 | |||||
| The brawny, serious, opaque purple-colored 1999 Giusti dei Notre is a barrique-aged, unfined, unfiltered blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. Its opaque purple color is accompanied by awesome aromas of weedy tobacco, espresso, smoke, chocolate, black currants, and blackberries. Dense, full-bodied, thick, viscous, rich, and pure, it requires another 2-3 years of cellaring, and should last for 15+. Sadly, production is a measly 800 cases. | |||||

| Robert Parker 98 | |||||
| For whatever reason, the full-bodied 2000 Vigna d'Alceo was roaring the day I tasted it. A single vineyard blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Sangiovese, it tastes like the Sammarco on steroids. It boasts a deep purple color in addition to scents of espresso, sweet melted licorice, black currant jam, and toasty oak. There is great intensity, superb purity, and a finish that lingers for nearly a minute. This mythical wine requires 2-3 years of cellaring, and will age effortlessly for two decades. | |||||
