Wednesday, March 24, 2021 - 1988 and 1990 Brunello di Montalcino night (Lafiandra, Singapore): Lovely. What a beautiful nose this had, with lovely notes of dried plums and wild berries, dried flowers and spice, and just a little dusting of dried earth at the edges. A lovely perfumed bouquet. The palate was great too - fine-boned, velvety tannins; soft but juicy acidity, all wrapped around a plump core of dark cherries and plums, some earth, a touch of mineral, these seasoned with a good bit of cigarette smoky and fragrant spice as the wine faded into a charming finish. Lovely. It lacked some of the weight of say the 1990s, but this had such a noble charm to it, with a lovely shape and definition to boot.
