Friday, December 15, 2023 - Robert's Holiday Party (Margaux's): My WOTN...and I am not a Nebbiolo fan! This bottle opened my eyes to why some people collect Barolo wines. This was reminiscent of a nicely aged Bordeaux. Shockingly good, especially for a 70 year old wine! This had the "WOW' factor in spades! Everything you could expect from an older wine and more! The fruit was still present (tart and sweet cherry) with plenty of mushroom, Unami, forest floor, earth, leather and some herbal notes. Utterly delicious and would never have guessed a Barolo nor anywhere near 70 years old! Truly a treat....Thanks Kevin! 96-96+ for my palate, and that is likely conservative!
