April 1, 2022 - Gala Dinner at La Festa del Piemonte (The Pool Restaurant, NYC): No nose. Sour cherries. Long finish. A very good wine, but I can't believe it's really a 1937. Way too young.

3/22/2006 (link)(Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva) I have never had a Barolo this old and this was a fascintaing wine. Great nose that is slightly oxidized but with still beautiful minerality and fruit. Some sour cherry and even, dare I say . . .sous-bois, Incredibley fresh . . . I mean shockingly fresh for a wine this old. The fruit is ripe and beautiful and the balance is so amazing. It coats the palate with layer after layer of ripe and sweet fruit. The concentration is great. This is great. This is insane wine and a testament to the longetivity of traditional Barolo. Stunning and one of the most memorable bottles I have ever had. I wish I could drink wine this old more often.
