Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 2, 2024 - Vinous Monfortino Dinner with Roberto Conterno; 2/1/2024-2/2/2024 (Legacy Records, NYC): According to Antonio, he found the '85s to be more advanced than expected, but my table got what he thought was the better bottle. I have never tasted the wine before to compare, but it seemed solid to me while definitely being on the more mature side of the wines served. It's possible that's simply the '85 vintage speaking.

Either way, the wine was enjoyable and ready to go, with red fruit, sweet spices, and earth. On the palate, I found very sweet red fruit, dried floral tones, lots of earth, and a bit of spices.

Roberto commented that when Nebbiolo oxidizes, the sweetness comes out rather than bitterness. To me, this wine showed that, as the fruit was beautifully sweet.
