Community Tasting Notes 5

August 28, 2020 - When my father turned 59 this week and I invited him to a birthday dinner, I had a very emotional moment. We opened the 1961 Barolo Enrico Serafino and it was a goosebumps moment. First, I smelled orange marmelade. I decanted the wine for 5 hours and after that I had the most complex wine in my glass that I ever experienced. Mon Cheri, cherry confit, Smoked bacon, rum, soja sauce, beef jerky, walnuts,... the complexity went on and on. Hard to believe that an old wine can have so much power...
