  January 28, 2007 - Very pale orange / rose in colour, with a notable brown rim. Not surprising given the age.
  
  It showed a mushroom and medicinal nose, which whilst strong, was less striking than the previous wine (a 1979 Nervi Gattinara). There was also more than a touch of 'farmyard' about it (which I find enjoyable at this sort of level). On the palate it was clear that the acidity was very strong - out of balance without food, which unfortunately we'd finished by the time we cracked this bottle. Overall very pleasant and interesting, albeit fading now.
