    July 24, 2022 - Corked - cork completely disintegrated with black mold on top. Not even the Durand could pull it out in one piece

    February 20, 2020 - Drunk at Cafe Grey Upper House Hong Kong and served blind - Wine of the night, paired with the '64. Quite a rarity and most definitely worth the trouble to find well stored bottles which this definitely was. Pale orange in the glass and mistaken for the older of the two wines. As you would expect the fruit is delicate but not fading, just enough acid to allow this to continue to age more than gracefully.

    October 4, 2019 - 4 hours upon opening into Zalto Universal glass (“Leaf” day): Pale ruby with fine deposits.

    Less structured and more advanced.

    Great wine indeed. Sadly it was paired with the 1970 San Lorenzo.

    93 points.

    March 31, 2019 - A very cool wine, and a pleasure to drink. Opened and slow ox'd on the counter for 5 hours, then decanted an hour before drinking. Initial nose on opening was very tired but after about 2 hours of slow ox it started to pick up some fruit. By time we sat to dinner it was bursting with prunes, smokey meat, and balsamic. Color was incredibly youthful. I can't see this continuing to improve, so if you happen to be lucky enough to own a bottle, pop it and enjoy! But give it plenty of air first!

    October 19, 2018 - FWG Lunch with Gaia Gaja (Ai Fiori Restaurant in the Langham Place Hotel, NYC): [Double-decanted at 10am.] A notable step up from the terrific base Barbaresco. Heavenly nose of smoke and cherries. Complex, long, amazing. Complex and ethereal. Wow!
