We hosted another wine dinner for charity: I treated this like I treat all of my older nebbiolo. Carefully decanted on a decanting stand, keeping it perfectly clear. Poured back into the cleaned bottle after four or five hours. The sweet fruited palate saved this wine. The nose was extremely dusty, almost trying to mimic a corked wine without the TCA. The group loved it, but since I've had much better previous bottles as well as other vintages from the 60's and 70's, I was a bit disappointed. Still, I can't complain about a nearly 50 year old wine that is still alive.

Didn't wow like the 64 did. This was a bigger, more rustic wine. Never quite showed me some of the things I love about old barolo. However it was still very drinkable and I don't think it was flawed.

Decanted an hour or so before drinking. Red fruit (cherry), strong floral- rose, spice, good acidity. Slight earth, slight soy sauce?. Dominated by floral. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.

Everyone thought this was likely topped off. A little too bright and young for what it was. Varietally correct.
