Saturday, April 11, 2020 - This was surprisingly a great wine. As most all Giacosa's started lean with tar and prunes, but in a few hours started to give black cherry and plum with subtle black earth elements then the rose-voilet floral aspects mostly on the nose, but so soft and integrated on the palate. Even not the greatest of Giacosa's wines rewards patience and just letting them open on their own. I never decant these (barring a rare cork problem) and they reward. I give this easily 10 more years of enjoyment, probably more.
