April 3, 2024 - Très léger voile liégeux qui gâche un peu le plaisir.

February 27, 2023 - No detailed notes. Double decanted at Noon for an 8pm dinner.
Ready to go! Great balance and fruit. In a really great place right now and for at least another 5 years I’d guess.1 person found this helpful Comment -

June 3, 2020 - This bottle of 1996 Borgogno Barolo Classico doesn’t taste right. Tasted blind – Resolved nose of saturated red cherry, tar, and leather. Going downhill. Traditional style. Nebbiolo? Arpepe? 2006? (66/100)

March 16, 2020 - Decanted one hour and drank with grilled veal. Rich color, no bricking or pale rim. A big wine with lots os tannin and acidity. Muted/cooked fruits but not much eucalyptus or menthol. Hard to believe this wine is 24 years old!

March 16, 2018 - Piedmont Night at Winil on March 16, 2018 (Winil, Moscow): 93+/100
A beautiful second bottle of Borgogno Classico Riserva, opened yesterday at Piedmont night.
Dark brown color, slightly cloudy. Aromas are jammy, with dark fruit and prune, earthly - and then opening with fresh champignons. Stellar.
Palate needs time - woody tannin and spiky acidity, that are both striking at first, eventually come together in one multilayered structure.
Great bottle to accompany Saturday evening viewing of Barolo Boys the movie.
