"Chiara, Emidio's granddaughter, says that 1990 was 'a balanced year and in the vein of 2001'. Bottle number 20,167. Mature looking, mid ruby with watery, bricky rim. Mature, sweet nose with hints of liquorice, tobacco and savoury spice and iron. Alluring and perfumed and with a little lift. Succulent and with a perfect balance between concentration and velvety tannins. Very long and supple". (Walter Speller July 2020)
