  • Massive balsamic in the nose, really savoury. Pot pourri, dry soil, dried strawberry. Beautifully transferred to the palette with some cured meat and smoke. High tannin for the age, still loads of grip.

  • Stood up for a week. Decanted for four hours. Perfect cork. 5cm ullage. Fine sediment. A pale garnet core fading to a pale tawny outer edge. Opens up with aged balsamic and medicinal notes of pine needles. There’s dried red roses, a touch of campfire smoke, a feint hint of figs, and muscovado sugar. Belonging entirely in the savoury, umami camp with bresaola, mushroom consommé, and charred embers.

  • Pale and partial translucent, no surprise. Correct aromatics, clean but faint. Gentle, restrained fruit, a touch of acid, some pretty floral notes, just not a lot of 'oomph.'

  • Not a lauded year, but this was a great bottle.
    6 hours slow ox.
    Pale reddish terracotta.
    On opening strong, intense tar and roses, confection on the nose, the palate intensely saline with soy and dashi, but otherwise relatively inexpressive.
    At 6 hours the nose was wonderously complex and intensely perfumed, kaleidoscopic. Slightly sweet palate of complex, wonderfully mature Barolo with high acidity and plenty of tannin, youthful and fresh.

  • One of the big surprises of the night during a blind wine tasting. This was clear and tawny brown, but so light in the glass. Very tertiary with tobacco and earth flavours, low to medium tannins and well balanced alcohol. Most thought this was a burgundy it was so delicate and feminine! Borgogno is simply a wonderful QPR and this is one of the better older barolos I have tried. Clear at a time to drink as it is obviously fading after hanging in there for 52 years! (Drank for Kelvin's birthday)
