This was an excellent Barolo. A big, dark wine for a La Morra Barolo with a beautiful nose. On the palate, the tannins have resolved but it still seems structuted. Not one sign of old age. Most enjoyable now, and it has many years left.

The nose is gorgeous. This is one of those rare wines that you don't even want to drink because then you can't smell it any more. On the palate, no tannin, totally sikly and wonderfully complex. This has the classic Chateau Margaux combination of elegance and power. It will probably be even better in 5-10 years, but even now it is sublime. This is either the best Chateau Margaux I have had or at least it's a tie with the '83 and '53.

A lovely figgy/coffee nose. Rich, sweet concentrated flavor. It may not have the complexity of a great Madeira, but it's still very good.
