Marchesi di Gresy Barbaresco Martinenga: 1978 to 2007 (Acquerello, San Francisco): Pale with some browning. Mint, sage and smoke. Light weight, excellent acidity. More remaining fruit than the 1978 had, but somehow not as long, exciting or complex. A few people initially felt that this was corked, but I don't think this was borne out in the end. At the end of the road.

RWC Marchesi di Grésy's Martinenga Barbaresco Dinner (Acquerello Restaurant, San Francisco, California): Cloudy, bricking, brown red color; VA, dried cherry, walnut nose; mature, tart cherry, dried cherry, mahogany, earthy palate; medium-plus finish (initially so reticent and musty on the nose that I was thinking it might be corked, but that blew off)
