  DEGUSTO - NEIVE: Degustato alla cieca.
  Magnetico, pimpante e tutto profumo. Assomiglia alla terziarizzazione dei Boca di Cerri, improntata sulla freschezza dei fiori macerati, una tisana di rose e garofani. Tannino ancora fitto e vivo, che fa espandere il liquido in bocca, foderandola di una patina che impregna le mucose.
  Bevibilità stupefacente per un vino di 50 anni. Non ha la pulizia chirurgica e la persistenza indelebile di profumi delle grandi annate di Cerri, ma resta un vino da brividi immortale.

  Slow O'd for 10 hours then 2 more in the decanter. When first opened had the usual old Barolo nose. A small taste offered a wine that needed to stretch it's legs. Served with pasta and white truffles.
  
  DELICIOUS. It got the ultimate seal of approval when the wife drank a bit and commented on how good the wine is. Something she tends to do with Giacosa. Rose, earth and red fruit still showing. Nice length and finish but not a world beater. This wine dances on your tongue.

  Keller 2011: Klar, lys rød med mildt innslag av oransje. Mild, elegant nese med parfymerte røde bær, jord og mild sødme. Bløt, men vital frukt med bra fokus og intensitet. Mild fruktsødme. Fast og stram syre. Tørr utgang. Nedslipte tanniner. Flott lengde med mildt sursøte toner og mild bitterhet.
