so far probably my red of the year. This wine is just in a fantastic place, decanted about 90min-this has to be the most ripe Giacosa I can recall. Deep macerated cherries, smoke, rich velvet on the palate. Awesome. So good I'm inclined to have another.

really outstanding, if served blind I think everyone would have guessed nearly 10yrs younger. A bit of diesel on the nose, lemon cream, white flowers very dry but a hint of sweetness. I've got to check how many I have left I'd like to leave 1 for another decade and see how it is doing.
