October 6, 2014 - Flatiron Wine & Spirits Dinner (In Vino, New York, NY): Double-decanted an hour prior to serving. An absolutely disgusting amount of sediment, as if three whole grapes had been left to disintegrate in the bottle. I wasn't expecting much from this—a 30-year old Barbaresco from a poor vintage—but it was stellar, proving once again that outstanding producers can do great things in subpar vintages. Near the end of its life, it had great finesse and softness, with smokey, chalky undertones and just enough fruit. Rated 2 on a scale of -1 to 3.
