4/9/2024 - Chapel Likes this wine: 92 pointsWhat a ride. Opened up and it was a crouching caged tiger. Acidic, strong, heading towards kerosene (but not). Definitely not a stand alone. Had some stinky cheese and it complimented well. |

2021 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Dolcetto d'Albamore |
4/3/2024 - seekingbalance Likes this wine: 90 pointsAnother outstanding Dolcetto. While I'm a Nebbiolo fan and fan of Northern Italian wines, I'm fairly new to Dolcetto. One thing i am finding is that (surprise, surprise) the best examples are worth it - and substantially better than more run-of the-mill varieties. |

3/23/2024 - fclarity wrote: 91 pointsFrom a perfect looking bottle, this wine had a deep red cemter and tan/yellow rims. After a few hours of air, this wine had a high intensity nose of roses, cherries, tobacco, plum, and some VA. |

1985 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo RiservaNebbiolo more |
3/17/2024 - atbarbar wrote: 85 pointsWine is over the hill, what a pity. As soon as opened, a brief, very brief whiff of fruit with very pleasant acidity made it interesting. After an hour of air (not decanted) mushrooms and soy sauce. Sweetness in the nose almost of chincona, some caramel as in vermouth. Sweet completely resolved tannins. The wine still barely stands on one leg, thanks to the acidity. Aftertaste of chunky tannins but short. Difficult to drink in any amount. Avoid. Disappointing for a riserva, the bottle may have had a shock, the bottle appears to have been recorked. Jancis says of 1985 vintage: "A few remain impressive, but excessive yields caused some to fade early." This faded earlier than 2024. Other vintage charts show 1985 as a great vintage. I had this bottle in 2013 and it was in very good shape. I had written at the time "This was the freshest of all (borgogno vertical), very youthful, both in the color and on the palate. Very balanced, nice acidity awesome tannins. Drink now or keep longer. Interestingly, also the 1985 jaboulet hermitage was the best of the tasting with very similar characteristics." And again todayt, the Jaboulet hermitage was opened again side-by-side and it was just fantastic as opposed to this Barolo, which wilted in my cellar apparently. |

4/5/2023 - KeithAkers wrote: 91 pointsThe nose is fresh and forward with tones of sour red cherries, menthol notes, raspberries, licorice, tar, liqueur tones, roses, and roasted herbs. This is balanced and has good depth with an open-knit style. The Full bodied feel shows off the balance of the nose with crisp, high acidity and silky, high tannins. This has a friendly take with some lovely, sour red fruits as the base. This could use a few years to fully come together, it doesn't feel like it will truly get all that much better. |

3/2/2024 - nebbiolofan Likes this wine: 91 pointsFresh cherries, orange peel, traces of Italian herbs and rose petal. After the bottle had been open for a while there was an unmistakable pink lemonade aroma that came and went. Medium bodied with medium+ acid and grippy but not ultra stiff Nebbiolo tannins. Maybe atypical? But quite enjoyable |
