Community Tasting Notes 3

  May 21, 2023 - "Only for Sundays" (Chicago, IL): Somewhat cloudy in the glass, but the nose and palate were not muddied in any way. Very much darker, riper fruit than the 1973, and there's an additional degree of freshness here as well. Powerful and muscular, this is a wine that is drinking right at peak for me right now.

  February 5, 2016 - Gala Dinner at Antonio Galloni's La Festa del Barolo (Four Seasons Restaurant, NYC): [Double decanted around noon.] From the Fossati vineyard in Barolo which is just next to Bricco delle Viole. Complex tar and cherries nose. Gorgeous, elegant, and complex in the mouth. A beautiful wine.

  November 18, 2007 - This realy offered up an impressive nose from the get go with red and black fruits, great minerality. fresh porcini, nettles and a slight peppery spice edge, and a tinge of autumn wood smoke. Layered, complete and intriguing. In the mouth this offered lovely restraint with a resolved texture that framed rich and pure earth tinged fruit with great deliniation. Again this could be called a touch simple though there were ample notes of dried herb leaning towards mint and laurel. This evolved slendidly with a very seductive entry, lovely ripe tannins and integrated acidity that created a poised package that offered less weight than many baroli but was complete. It was so taut across the midpalate i could have played quarters on my tongue. I wish I had more of this yet this was my last, i hink... 2008-2014
