Flight 1 (2 Notes)

  • 2006 Gaja Langhe Rossj Bass 90 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Langhe DOC

    Lush with yellow fruits on the nose. Concentrated and medium-bodied with nice balance of fruits and acidity. Should hold well until 2025.

  • 2012 Gaja Langhe Rossj Bass 90 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Langhe DOC

    Still fairly closed. Full yellow fruits and some pecan nut notes on the nose. Similar on the palate with attractive finish. Needs another 5 years, 90 points for now.

Flight 2 (5 Notes)

  • 1970 Marchesi di Barolo Barolo 88 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    From 3,8 liter format. Stewed fruits, prune and mushrooms in the nose. Mature but still powerful. Drying in the finish. Quite a coarse style of Barolo. One of us mentioned this might have been fortified with Barbaresco.

  • 1961 Marchesi di Barolo Barolo 93 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    This (in 0,75 liter) was better than the (3,8 liter) 1970 MdB Barolo beside. Powerful nose with red fruits, earth, tar and menthol notes. Elegant, mature and classic Barolo that should still keep well for years. Very interesting and surprisingly young for its age.

  • 1985 Giacosa Fratelli Barolo Pira di Castiglione 90 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Mature classic Barolo in style. Stewed fruits, sweet red fruits and bit astringent in the finish. Missing energy, passed drinking window?

  • 1997 Elvio Cogno Barolo Vigna Elena 93 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Very stylish and elegant Barolo. Beautiful fruits, tobacco, spices and red fruits in the nose. Great wine that should keep well for more years.

  • 2003 Bruno Giacosa Barolo 91 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Medium to full bodied with dried fruits and good freshness. Seems more built on power than elegance (compared with 1997 Barolo Elena by Cogno).
