White Truffle & 1971 Nebbiolo Dinner (Chez Goldberg, Greenwich Village, NYC): [Decanted at around 5pm. Served about 9pm.] Spicy, minty, red fruit nose. Long and tasty. Quite good for this vintage.

Slow-oxed for 10 hours upon serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Fruit” day): Pale garnet with copperish hues.
Exuberantly pronounced notes of dried darker red cherries and prunes. Savoury notes, liquorice.
Alive with lots of energy on the palate. Good minerality and acidity driven with lots of fruits to support.
94 points.

Incredible conditions with perfect fill and cork. Uncorked 3 hours prior to serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Root” day): Pale garnet to the eyes. Fine deposits only.
Darker red cherries, prunes and black berry fruits with a hint of chestnuts like from the ripeness. Animale, savoury, sandalwood, earthiness. Fine spices.
High acidity and minerality as consistent with prior tasted. Tannins are still very much present. Good length.
Largely consistent notes with last tasted. 94 points.

Bottle in perfect conditions in terms of fill level and cork. Stood upright overnight prior to serving (“Flower” day):
Very small pour (less than 5ml) into Zalto Burgundy immediately upon uncorking for initial impressions. Rest of bottle under go slow oxidation in wine fridge.
Pale garnet with ruby hues to the eyes.
Highly concentrated fruit notes of salt preserved cherries, plums and prunes. The liquid seems to be able to condense itself over time, showing a broadening spectrum of red fruits, dried roses, animale and fine spices with a sense of emerging inner energy, very restrained if any VA - In short this is a nose to die for...
This has very high, fine boned acidity, salty minerality indeed. Very much weightless on palate with suave tannins. The fruit flavours are evident from mid palate onwards but most flavourful towards the finish consistent with nose.
94 points at this point.
1 hour upon uncorking, 2nd pour: The savoury, tar notes emerged in this round with more robust fruit flavours compared to the first pour.
2 hours upon opening, 3rd pour, 4/5 left: Clearly on the way up here, more tannins but also more complete with more strawberries notes on the palate.
2.5 hours upon opening, 4th pour: More preserved mandarins with peels. Still broadening its fruit spectrum.
Almost 3 hours upon opening, 5th pour, 3/4 left: Wow the nose is superb now with all the classic Barolo notes - Savoury red berries, prunes and dates that are slightly smoky, tar, dried roses, vegetal, “cosmetics”, dried mandarin peels, faint hints of truffles. Upgrade to 94-95 points.
4 hours upon opening, 1/2 left: Getting better integrated on palate as well. The ample fruits make the wine feels at times “youthful”. Really fine bottle.
6 hours upon opening, 1/4 left: More wild strawberries, beef stock and hints of mushrooms.
7 hours upon opening, 1/5 left: This continued to amaze with how well this wine is structured in terms of acidity, flavour profile and tannins after 40 years in cellar.
8 hours upon opening, last pour: Remains to be well defined in terms of aromas, refined on palate and pure all the way to the very last drop. This feels more of a top flight well aged Bourgogne now on nose with very nice red berry fruits and dates, and very well structured on palate. Not a lot of deposits and certainly no sense of flavour being convoluted here.
It would be fair to conclude this at 95 points on my rating. What an enjoyable bottle this is!
