Saturated evolved ruby. A terrific effort showing plenty of deep, rich dark fruit, prune, and earthy flavors, with excellent sustain and persistence on the palate. Although mature, the 1990 shows no signs of being tired and likely has at least another ten years of prime drinking ahead of it.

The 1990 Barolo Cascina Francia Serralunga, which will not be released for several years, is a huge, blockbuster of a wine that may turn out to be one of the most concentrated wines of that great vintage. One can only imagine what Conterno's Monfortino might taste like in 1990!
