Score 92/100 · Drink 1998-2012, Robert Parker, Apr 1994

The 1990 Barbaresco Montestefano reveals a gorgeously-scented nose of smoked nuts, black-cherries, cedar, and spice. Full-bodied with layers of concentrated, highly extracted fruit, this massive wine appears to be more tannic and backward than its 1989 sibling. The finish is immensely long. While approachable now, it will be at its best between 1998-2012+. Prunotto, now owned by the Tuscan firm of Antinori, continues to turn out superlative examples of Piedmontese wines. Importer: a Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Inc., HoHoKus, NJ.
