One of the most profound Brunellos I’ve ever tasted, the Soldera Riserva 1999 has a nose that is both infinitely complex and pungent. Alluring aromas of dried rose petals, dark cherries, game, saddle leather, damp tilth, decaying leaves, anise, and sandalwood waft from the glass. Truly, it’s the iron fist in a velvet glove—incredibly intense and powerful, yet totally refined, elegant and balanced. Caressing ultra-fine tannins shore up notes of sweet tobacco, dried herbs, and cinnamon bark. I am undone.
