Community Tasting Note

• vagrantone wrote: 87 points

  April 27, 2019 - Good fill level, cork came out in good condition.
  Kept upright for last 3 weeks.
  Not decanted, as the wine came across a little tired. Showing mostly acidity and tannins at this point with just a hint of the tar and roses.
  Slightly disappointing.

  5/4/19, 12:14 PM - Thanks so much for answering. I recently drank a 1978 Castello Di Neive Barbaresco Riserva Speciale (4 years in oak!) and it was exceptional. Sorry your 'stash" didn't deliver. 40 years is a long time, and a big risk, to be in someone ELSE'S possession! .....best wishes.
