Saturday, October 26, 2019 - 1999 Piedmont Retrospective (Brooklyn): 1999 Retrospective in Brooklyn
Double decanted in the AM. Drunk over several hours
More elegant and floral on the nose than the Accomasso. More red fruited and graceful as well. Archetypal Barolo nose, with nothing standing out. Everything just seems to blend together into a complete wine here. Wonderful, graceful, mid weighted, elegant Barolo. Lovely florals on the nose and palate with depth and a sense of power without weight. Finishes with firm nebbiolo tannins. A Graceful, complicated, effortlessly beautiful wine without artifice. Drinking at early peak with plenty fo time in hand.
