Fine Wines SG - 90s Tuscany vs The World (Fine Wines SG): Hardly could get anything on the nose except some wheaty oats and chilli pepper. Very tannic, and lots of alcohol heat, while not as strong flavour-wise, with a bit of coffee and cranberry. Did not fancy this balance

Brunello 1990 Horisontal Tasting (@ Canan): Dark and intense plum fruit nose with plenty of black pepper but also some vanilla and other spices. Very nice nose. The palate is however quite disappointing.. There is some dark concentrated plum fruit with a little coconut and vanilla but the tannins are a little "dusty". A solid acidity in the aftertaste but overall the wine leaves an impression of a highly unbalanced wine that is overly alcoholic.. A huge disappointment to me.
