"If you are looking for more tannin than in the 1990 Alte d'Altesi and the 1990 Palazzo Altesi, check out Altesino's 1988 Brunello di Montalcino. An outstanding example of Brunello, the color is impressively dark, and the emerging bouquet exhibits licorice, Asian spices, fruitcake, minerals, and plenty of highly extracted fruit. Full-bodied, with outstanding concentration, moderate tannin, and an expansive personality, this impressive Brunello should drink well for 10-20 years."
(Robert M. Parker, Jr., robertparker.com)
"Brunello di Montalcino is the ambassador of top quality Italian wines around the world, the first wine to receive the DOCG appellation. Brunello is a brilliant ruby red colour, tending towards garnet red with age. Its bouquet is intense, pure, pleasant and refined, reminiscent of sweet violet, tobacco, chocolate and pleasant hints of wild berries and vanilla. Its flavour fully confirms the above in a well-balanced, full-bodied wine with good tannins and a solid structure."
