1955 Bolla Recioto della Valpolicella Spumante 97 Points
Italy, Veneto, Valpolicella, Recioto della Valpolicella
WOW! Just perfectly balanced. Not too sweet. Not surprisingly, there are no bubbles left but that doesn't stop this from being a wildly enjoyable wine.

1966 Bolla Recioto della Valpolicella Spumante 93 Points
Italy, Veneto, Valpolicella, Recioto della Valpolicella
Massive sweet raisins and prunes. No bubbles left. If it wasn't for the 1955 that I had side-by-side, I would have liked this more, but the '55 was SO well-balanced that this one didn't quite stand up in comparison.

This took an hour to open up but then WOW! Went from like a 92 to a 96. Stunning wine with some air.

Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Langhe DOC
Would never have pegged this for a riesling. Tasted like a more traditional Italian white.

1939 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva 96 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Just insane. Completely alive and the fruit is still standing strong. A truly magnificent wine and slice of history. Much darker and more vibrant than the 1947 in my opinion. Was my WOTN.

1947 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva 95 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Incredibly light color--almost rose in color. But the fruit was alive and wonderful. WOTN for several people, though the 1939 topped it for me.

1957 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva 94 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Wonderful after several hours decant. Perhaps even better the next day (24 hours later) when the red fruit came screaming back and was really strong.

1967 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva 90 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
I wondered if this bottle was flawed. Tasted more like an old burgundy than an old barolo. Had a hint of "green" taste to me.

NV Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Chinato 97 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo Chinato
Absolutely love this stuff. Raisins and sugar, but extremely balanced and not overly sweet. This NV bottle we had supposedly came from the early-mid 60s.
