Friday, June 15, 2018 - Bruno Giacosa Tribute Dinner (Casa Tartufo, Singapore): Absolutely lovely wine, but this was a couple of steps behind the more mature and ready 1978 - I can well see it getting there and maybe even overtaking its older sister in the next decade or so though. What a nose this had. Little drifts of earth and truffles and broiled meat, melting roses, a core of sweet red fruit, just a bit of cream on the sides. Wonderful! This was a gobstoppingly good bouquet. The palate was every bit as strong as well - full and powerful, yet absolutely transparent and effortless, it floated through the mouth with wonderful flavours of cherries and mineral and spice. Deep, inexorable, yet so light on its feet at the same time. Already perfectly integrated and very whole, yet with so much more in reserve. This was such a special wine.
