  Double-decanted before traveling, very light color, but sweet fruit nose. This is light on the palate as well, some sweet cherry fruit and tar, not a lot of depth, but pretty good for a year that’s pretty horrid across most of the planet,.B-/B

  At Bite of Hong Kong
  
  Undergrowth, decaying leaves, soy, red furits, heme, pot pourri and dried rose petals on the nose. Fully tertiary and fading on the palate, but still with good acidity and some mature red fruited nebbiolo fruit to compliment the mostly autumnal flavors. Better with food and still enjoyable in a more academic than pleasurable mode. Still a pretty good showing for a 1960 Barolo.

  Not bad. Very old. Some leather and spine, a bit of sherry. Pretty nice on the palate - soy and savory notes, earth and spice and a lot of dried rose. Good savory finish. Nose - 4/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 15/20.
