An Ontario-based consignor began building a serious wine collection during the lockdown, sourcing most of his bottles through the LCBO and select purchases acquired through hospitality connections. The entire collection has been meticulously stored in professional wine refrigerators and a dedicated cellar. Now focused on paring down his inventory, he is offering a portion of this carefully curated secondary market collection.
1998 Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 95 points, The Wine Advocate 94 points, CellarTracker 94 points. This is the tasting note for 1998 Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG from Robert Parker - The 1998 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a terrific effort from Soldera. It is an elegantly powerful Brunello that displays expressive aromatics along with a more expansive, fleshier core of fruit and a darker set of cherry, smoke, tar and licorice flavors than the regular bottling. Blessed with notable length as well as broad yet finessed tannins, it displays the transparency and weightlessness that defines’s this producer’s best wines. Awesome. .
