  Nebbiolos, white truffles, Volume VII (Chicago, IL): Lots of bottle variation in this wine, I'm told. This one was absolutely stunning. On the decant, there was almost no sediment suspended because it had all precipitated out into very large chunks. The nose from the get-go was extraordinary, fresher than many 70s and 80s nebbiolos, and showing a distinct perfume note. The fruit here is crystalline and clear, with distinct tart red fruit aromas and flavours. It's such a thrill to open an old wine and experience something like this.

  A perfect bottle from Rare Wine Co enjoyed with Mannie. Consensus WOTN in a Bartolo Riserva flight of 58/61/67. Has the most depth and complexity of the three and drank a hair younger and more nuanced than the 61 Riserva. All were great. This 67 was the darkest of the three which is to say is was light red with no brown - perfect ruby color and no residual sediment. Classic perfume of sweet red cherries, leather, soy, mushroom. All of the wines evolved and changed throughout the 3 hour dinner. Amazing wine, amazing winemaker and a treat to enjoy with great company.

  Cantina (Bartolo) Mascarello Dinner: The Barolos of Giulio and Bartolo Mascarello 1952-1971 (Bar Boulud, NYC): Bricked pale ruby. Giant, billowing nose of book leather, cherry cough syrup, rose, baking spices. Spectacular and classic. Truffles, tar, saline, kelp. WOW!!! Palate is masculine, fantastic, good-to-superb balance, excellent length. Pine, orange peel, an elusive red fruit will-o-the-wisp dancing deep in a forest of leather. Later, a very distinct note of geranium showed up on the nose. A very special wine. Absolutely wonderful. I love the '67s in Piedmont, and this only reinforced that sentiment.

  Bartolo & Giulio Mascarello: 1952-1971 Barolos of Cantina Mascarello (Bar Boulud, NYC): Sour cherries. A little flat. Perhaps not a top bottle of this wine, but others liked it more than I did.
