Jamie P. was in town to drink with four of us. Since we met at RPM, we decided to drink Barolos and Barbarescos. The risotto with Burgundian black truffle has been consistently excellent this season. The wines showed really well especially the 90 GIacosas, 96 DP Rose and 83 Von Schubert TBA.
It was obviously fully mature but still fresh.
Disappointing flight.
This showed incredibly well, the best example.
The 69 was surprisingly concentrated.
Both showed incredibly well
As usual, showed really young.
This was a great example of TBA.
A great time was had by all.
1964 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino Speciale 94 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Beautiful mature nose displaying subtle red fruit, dry cherry, strawberry, a hint balsamico, raw button mushroom leather, ash, damp cellar and a hint of iron. There is a slight hint of musty damp cellar. Fully integrated palate, finely layered subtle red fruit, nice balance, bright acidity, fully integrated tannins and a long subtle red fruit driven finish with ash at the end. No VA but showing a slightly musty damp cellar note.
