Stored at 55 degrees, humidity controlled, since purchase.
Upon decanting, nose was very funky. That mostly blew off over 15 minutes or so.
On the palate: Some mature Barolo astringency, but still enough fruit, balance and complexity to be a nice bottle. Still drinking well, but would not hold much longer.

Six '89 Vietti with Luca Currado (Il Corso): What a great way to start. This bottle was just showing all its goodies with reckless abandon. Quite showy and fragrant with sweet red cherries, brown spices, cardamom, earth and beef blood. On the palate it’s absolutely at peak and strutting its stuff. The fruit is fresh, but has also taken on secondary notes. Similar flavors as aromas with firm but manageable structure. The only thing that really separates this wine from the wines that followed was perhaps a bit of layering and depth. A-.

This wine came across at notably more modern than the others. While I’m not sure of how much of that might be due to the vintage and how much might be due to production techniques, this wine came across and very modern, smooth, and sexy. It had wonderfully appealing chocolate covered cherry notes and a penetrating sweetness. The palate was soft and round, seeming to indicate some time in smaller oak. An excellent bottle of wine. This wine is drinking well now and will likely hold for 10 more years. 92-93 pts.
