  The aromatics on this wine are exceptional! Lots of crunchy red fruit, super fresh and silky. Quite structured still at age 34, with high acidity and slightly chewy tannin. The more air this gets, the more delicious it is. Very cool!

  Starting to fade a little. Now in tertiary phase, where it's all frame/perfume & no flesh.

  An incredible nose with dark red to black fruit, baking spices, forest floor, and smoked meat. On the palate, it is incredibly refined with a silky mouthfeel and good length, retaining power and high acidity but perfectly integrated at this point in life. The '89 Rocche is stunning and I think for my taste this bottle is at peak, but there appears to be plenty of life left. One of the wines of the year for me.

  A complex nose of leather, smoke, truffles and earth. The palate is deep, dense and chewy, with good energy and a long, powerful finish, loaded with savoury nuance.

  Neb Vinous Blind 1989 Barolo & Barbaresco Dinner (Buona Notte, NYC): [Double decanted for an hour around 12:30m.] Cloudy, not properly decanted. Perhaps moved too close to decanting time. Big smoky nose. Sweet cherry on the mid-palate. Long, sour cherry finish. Very good, but I've had better bottles.
