"The 1990 Chianti Classico Riserva Vigna del Sorbo bursts from the glass with huge fruit. Still remarkably deep and powerful, the 1990 wraps around the palate with layers of sweet, perfumed fruit and dazzling texture. This seamless, voluptuous wine captures the essence of one of the all-time great vintages in Tuscany. Even after all these years, the 1990 remains one of the greatest Sorbos ever made. This is a remarkable achievement and an early masterpiece from proprietor Giovanni Manetti and longtime winemaker Franco Bernabei. Best of all, well-stored bottles will continue to thrill readers for at least another decade. Wow!"
