1990 Flaccianello, Fontodi
A lovely sweet, soft, mature nose with gorgeous notes of red and black cherries, milk chocolate, sweet pipe tobacco, rose hips marmelade and a lovely smoky note. This is mature, gorgeous and complex.
The taste is really fine with soft tannins, velvety fruit and a long, caressing finish. There are notes of sweet cherry fruit, pipe tobacco, autumn leaves and rasberry chocolate coulis. A long, soft, sweet, yummy taste. This is drinking perfectly and won't get any better.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the note. I am a big fan of the Flaccianello, but haven`t had the 90 yet. Just recieved a case of the 97, have you tasted it?
ReplyDeleteThanks Henning! No, no, the 97 is a disaster, please send me the case and I will destroy it...:-) No, it is a fabolous wine - I have tasted it 6-7 times - all in the 95-97p range - have fun with it!
