March 2, 2022 - The most stellar example of Barolo I've ever experienced. Decanted for 2 hours, ample sediment thrown, cork was in surprisingly good condition (maybe they had better trees in the early 60s?). Shared with 3 other wine geeks, we all concurred. Over the moon.

January 15, 2018 - Nice and graceful, still with good extract and energy. Flavors and spice really shine with food, really the fruit carries and shines here. There's not much thought that we're drinking this too old. Fresh as a daisy.

April 29, 2017 - Rare Monfortino Wine Dinner (New York Vintners, NYC): At 3:30pm: Watery with diluted sweet red fruit. Something is not right here. Perhaps it will come together with air.
At 9:15pm: Sadly, it did not come together. In fact, it seems unchanged.
