  April 27, 2024 - Two virtually perfect examples opened for a Vallana themed dinner at La Campagnola restaurant in Lasalle, Québec, only five days after arriving from Italy.
  Decanted and put back in rinsed bottles six hours earlier.
  Full rich and dark colour, more like a 15-20 year old wine.
  Amazing nose of mixed berries, gentle sweet spices, flowers and precious woods.
  Deep and delicious in the mouth, without any hint of deterioration, or anything lees than an incredible balance.
  Truly an honour to the memory of Bernardo Vallana, perhaps the greatest winemaker of his generation.
  Also served that evening, two bottles each of Castello di Montalbano 1964 (93) and Cinque Castelli Riserva 1961 (94).
  In each pair, both bottles were totally consistent.
