Friday, June 15, 2018 - Bruno Giacosa Tribute Dinner (Casa Tartufo, Singapore): Yet another very lovely wine. What a knockout Barbaresco nose it had - rose and cherry, earth and smoke and spice, a bit of tar, a kiss of herb, all unfolding in a sweet, seductive bouquet edged with a smoky, tarry lilt. Wow. The palate was lovely too, rich, delicious, with thick dark cherry flavours, and then nuances of spice, tar and earth - powerful and rich with 1997 ripeness, yet still balanced and lithe all the way into its long finish. We had such an amazing line-up tonight that this was probably one of the the poerer showings - it was just not quite as effortlessly elegant as some of the other wines on show, but nevertheless a lovely and delicious bottle in its own right.
