Cà Del Bosco Pinero 1990, Sebino Lombardia

 

Haven’t had a Sebino in quite a while … and never with such age! I've been observing this very bottle in the depths of a climatic chamber for quite some time … or more. Besides its impressively long - as well as challenging - cork it seems to be in a well seasoned shape - not euphemistically put at all. Plenty of iron, blood, dry brown earth, sediments of gauntish red currants, some thyme, and a substantially vivid acid combined with some rugged farmyard structure give me somehow certain Morey vibes … not sure this is legit in our dimension. Anyway ... not a charmer at all, quite serious actually … at least a serious travel back in time when a certain and on my behalf not so beloved and certainly unnerving Lothar scored a dirty goal in San Siro about 50 miles west from these grapes! Quite inspirational stuff I guess
