"The 1988 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio al Vento boasts exceptional polish and textural elegance. Dark cherries, eucalyptus, menthol, spices and leather come alive in the glass as this vivid, vibrant Brunello shows off its stunning pedigree. The 1988 possesses dazzling freshness, clarity and precision. This is a very much a 1980s wine built on length and energy rather than power."

"Good bright red with an amber rim. Deep aromas of red cherry are complicated by strong herbal notes of tobacco, underbrush, quinine and coffee. Then more tobacco and underbrush on the palate, along with delicate red berry nuances that really blossomed in the glass with aeration. This silky, intense midweight finishes round, lush and broad, with harmonious acids and tannins and enticing lingering perfume. Aged for 52 months in large oak casks, and made from a large production for Poggio al Vento (42 hectoliters per hectare), this was the first vintage with Castelli completely in charge of winemaking."
