The nose showed burnt sugar, orange peel, butter, cotton candy and roasted cashews. On the palate, more roasted nuts with vanilla, and dried apricots on a full, lush body. The finish went on and on with a distinct ressemblance to Crème brûlée.

1996: Barolo Retrospective (Tolani, Wine Restaurant, 410 Amsterdam Ave, New York, New York, 10024): This wine showed a perfect example of why you should age Vin Santo. The nose showed over ripe peaches, burnt sugar and orange peel with honey, dusty confectioners sugar and roasted cashews. On the palate, I found sweet yet fresh orange with caramel and roasted nuts along with a mix of different wood tones. It was massive and sweet yet extremely fresh, and it finished long with more caramel and wood. This bottle drinks great now and has many years ahead of it.
