December 10, 2023 - Bottle purchased at auction so you never know, but this was really quite good; still had a pretty good cork seal for 65 years old; the nose was lovely and complex; forest floor, mint, anise, dried red cherry and currant, orange peel, cigar box, truffle; it was changing every sniff. The fruit was expressive from about 30-60 min open, then faded quickly and became mostly savory and earthy. The palate was enjoyable and while in its heyday this must have been exquisite, it is clearly on the down hill side of its life. That said it was still a lovely experience and was quite pleasurable.

November 2, 2022 - Tasted blind, this wine had a red center and tan rims. The medium intensity nose of cherries, caramel, vanilla, and soil was impressive.
In the mouth, while there was some richness, I found this wine a bit anemic.
The bottle I tasted suggests this wine should be consumed. -

February 9, 2019 - A truly lovely bottle in pristine condition, which paired exceptionally well with tortellini and perigord truffle, parmesan, and pecorino. Double decanted in the morning, and opened in the evening at restaurant. Initially very light rose color with strawberry on the palate, the color deepened significantly after some exposure to air, and the flavor expanded to more typical old Barolo. Still vibrant and developing nicely in the glass.
