1964 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva

1964 Borgono Reserva Barolo, purchased at auction so proper storage is unknown. The cork and fill, bottom of neck, were typical for a 59 year old bottle. The wine was well past its prime. The color was clear and pink, sherry like. There was some apple in the nose and early. After decanting for two hours the flavor evolved and there was a hint of licorice and tar. It ended with an acid slap. This wine was balanced, barely drinkable and a big disappointment!

1981 Château Gruaud Larose

1981 Gruaud La Rose. We opened this 42 year old Bordeaux at a Mano restaurant,San Francisco with a Durand at Mike’s birthday celebration. John and Steven attended. The cork was 90% moist with one seepage spot. The wine exhibited some bricking but had an aromatic nose. The flavors were forward and fruity. Black currant, red raspberry, tobacco, leather, cassis and smoke dominated. The wine was medium bodied and very well balanced, slightly passed the peek of maturity. This was the most profound 81 tasted in years.
