Introduction

Jeremy Parzen, who writes one of my favorite blogs on the Internet, was in town hosting a tasting of Franciacorta sparkling wines at I Trulli. I was able to take the train down and organize a lunch with a few fellow Neb Heads. Turned out to be a lovely way to spend a summer day.

Flight 2 - Flight 2: Borgo del Tiglio (1 Note)

Flight 3 - Flight 3: Older Nebbiolo (3 Notes)

  • 1967 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco 95 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco

    [Decanted at 11am.] Smokey nose. Muted on the palate at 2pm. Seems to be a bit over the hill at this point, but still complex and interesting. By 3pm, it's alive! At least it is showing more fullness and richness. Still very mature, but Jamie was right, this needed at least 4 hours of air. Quite special now.

  • 1978 Oddero Barolo 93 Points

    Youthful nose. Rich and full. A classic 1978 in very good shape.

  • 1979 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Rocche di Castiglione Falletto 95 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    [Decanted at 11am.] Classic nose of licorice, dried cherries, and fruit compote. Complex in the mouth with black spice on the long finish. This is a beauty. Full of life still.
