Score 87/100 · Drink 2000-2010, Robert Parker, Aug 1997
The big, spicy, tannic, backward 1990 Brunello di Montalcino Schiena d'Asino exhibits a dark garnet/ruby color, closed aromatics (scents of earth, pepper, and underbrush can be found), plenty of muscle and power, but not much fruit. It is a cleanly made wine that cuts a full impression on the palate, but it finishes with excruciating tannin. If the tannin becomes more integrated, this wine will merit a score in the upper eighties, but it will not reach full maturity before the turn of the century. Look for it to last through 2010+.
