One of the most pleasant surprises of the evening, Soldera’s 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva races across the palate with remarkable depth and intensity. The warmth of the year comes through in the wine’s pure volume, yet all the Soldera signatures are in place. This rich, totally inviting Brunello is a fabulous choice for drinking now over the next 15-20 years, perhaps longer.
