Introduction

A private evening of tasting mostly Italy-only grapes

Flight 1 - Dolcetto grape (1 Note)

Flight 2 - Nebbiolo grape but not Barolo (2 Notes)

Flight 3 - Nebbiolo grape from Barolo (2 Notes)

  • 1985 Giacomo Brezza e Figli Barolo Castellero 89 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Excellent barolo from a good year. Even with 27 years on the shoulders this bottle is still in good shape. Loads of nutty flavours and brown look. We were not expecting this bottle to be anything except for a experience, but its a quite pleasant glass even though my taste buts prefer the taste of younger bottle.

  • 2004 Le Ragose Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 93 Points

  • 1998 Zonin Amarone della Valpolicella 95 Points

    Italy, Veneto, Valpolicella, Amarone della Valpolicella

    Its not every day I get to pop a 1998 Amarone, and the Zonin was stellar. Peber and berrys. Cant think of many bottles i would love so much to have more of the my cellar, but this was the only one.
