  NK Monprivato Vertical (Chez Goldberg, Greenwich Village, NYC): [Predominantly from Monprivato. Double-decanted at 4:30pm.] Complex nose of forest floor, tar, and sour cherries. Lovely and elegant in the mouth. Juicy, long finish. Really a stunning wine, still in superb shape.

  Double decanted in the AM, then drunk over several hours.
  
  An autumnal nose. Red fruits, dried rose petal/ pot pourri, medicinal, and leafy notes. Pretty. Mid weighted at mose with lovely balance of similar mature flavors with a fine mineral-limestone feel to it. Lifted and fresh. Certainly this will not improve, but it is in a nice spot if you love mature Barolo. Finishes reasonably long with balsam and floral notes. Understated and pretty. 92

  Yum - brick with a dusty brown rim. Super nose of cherry fruit, rose and dirt - wow this has got energy. Alive, bright red fruit - long. Pretty fantastic. (96)

  Produttori Asili and Montefico at Castello Kahn '78,' 82, and '89 (Baltimore): A lovely mature nose. Red fruited nebbiolo fruit, rose petal, some porcini, and subtle medicinal notes. Midweighted, sappy, and graceful on the palate with a textural resemblance, that I am not sure if it is power of suggestion, that had but some echoes of the 01 Monprivato the night before. Drinking extremely well and while I suspect it will hold, I cannot see a reason to wait. A great start to the night.

  Yet another divine bottle of Filippo Sobrero, as good as an incredible bottle of the 64 some years back. Delicate, spicy, fresh.
