Thursday, July 29, 2021 - Dinner at Osteria Langhe (Chicago, IL): This was another flyer that I bought based on its sheer rarity. I didn't like this when it was opened, as it felt a little stinky and the palate was thin and acidic. But this just got better as the night wore on (despite, or in spite of, my whingeing that this wasn't a very good bottle). The fruit was fully on the red side of the spectrum, with just a hint of olive (though I would have liked more). Fully resolved with high acidity on the palate, but also no overt danger signs of decline.
