Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, October 7, 2014 - (Mostly) Barolo Dinner (Osteria Langhe - Chicago IL): Open 4 hours before serving. Exciting floral start with mature red berry and cherry on nose and palate. Spicebox includes black pepper and tarragon with outstanding minerality. Very good balance and textures. Very elegant and sophisticated. I was told 1983 was a mediocre vintage (at best), but this was easily in my "top 5" tonight and 2 people thought it in their "top 2." A big contrast to the same wine from 1988 in the next glass, which was more backward and brooding.
