  A very middling bottle of the Cavalieri bottling. Somewhat flat and beginning to show hints of oxidation, but still displaying cherry and dry soil notes. 89-

  '78 Cavalieri release. Good structure but a brownish tint to the palate. I liked this less than others did.

  '77 Cavalieri bottling. Fresh and bright with faint licorice on the nose. Light tar, soil notes, faint cedar. Much more resolved than the '78 release.

  With Jim, Mannie, Rob, Bill and friends at Charlie Bird. Very unusual flight with 3 Bartolo 1971s side by side. these two were Cavlieri del Tartufi (of which Levi is a member) but one was a 77 selection and the other the 78 and they were next to a Cantina Mascarallo. They fought for the number one spot over their short life but the 78 bottling showed the most expressive secondary and tertiary flavors and won my love

  "Best in show" today. A powerful bouquet fusing Burgundian funk and gaminess with Piedmontese truffles and porcini mushrooms. The tannin is fully resolved, letting the fruit sink in effortlessly and stick, the flavor accented by pale woodsiness.
