Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 24, 2021 - 1988 and 1990 Brunello di Montalcino night (Lafiandra, Singapore): I really enjoyed this. It had a lovely nose, with pretty drifts of spice and dried flowers, red cherries and wild strawberries, with a little kiss of earthiness at the edges. The palate was stunningly youthful, with a spine of bright acidity and fine-boned tannins stretched through lovely, juicy flavours of sweet red cherries and darker berries, a little meat and earth, and then a lovely blush of smoky spice blooming away into a nice finish. Very good indeed, and drinking nicely now. There was a tremendous amount of almost tomato-like acidity on this, which kept it so very alive, and lent it a chameleon-like ability to go with a lot of the Northern Italian dishes we had on the night.
