Vini Rossi-L'Ultimo Piano (Asti Trattoria): Overall the least liked wine of this flight, one taster thought it like "an old, cold cup of coffee." The wine lacked structure and complexity, was flat, had a rubber component. One taster thought the nose resembled caramel popcorn, another the wine had some raspberry flavor. A few people enjoyed the wine, with slightly raisined fruit on nose, richer with less acidity than the 1985 Vietti Rocche tasted alongside it. It "seemed to have more warm weather feel to it with the roundness on the palate-still very good," was one pronouncement.

With Michael Lehmann and Halina at S&F survey of 1985 Barolos. Light medium ruby. Reticent fruit in the nose. In the mouth, a bit green, high toned. Weird. Not a great wine. 4-9-9-3: 75/100
