  Vinous Monfortino Dinner with Roberto Conterno; 2/1/2024-2/2/2024 (Legacy Records, NYC): The '64 was nice, although doesn't rank among the better wines I have tasted from this vintage (i.e., the spectacular Bartolo '64 from last year's Rare Wine dinner). I found menthol, light red, dried fruits, blood, earth, and minerality on the nose. On the palate, it is fully resolved but still shows good intensity and a pleasant sweetness.

  Jamie's DC visit Barolo and Barbaresco: Beautiful mature nose displaying subtle red fruit, dry cherry, strawberry, a hint balsamico, raw button mushroom leather, ash, damp cellar and a hint of iron. There is a slight hint of musty damp cellar. Fully integrated palate, finely layered subtle red fruit, nice balance, bright acidity, fully integrated tannins and a long subtle red fruit driven finish with ash at the end. No VA but showing a slightly musty damp cellar note.

  Dark fruit, varied soil notes, dark herbal highlights and consistent undertones of gaminess. Complex blend.

  World's Greatest - Night III (Per Se): Light red cherry and strawberry. Oxidative, but still has showy herbaceous spice. On the palate this is much better and gives a good punch of tertiary dried berry fruit upnfront and through the middle. I don't have any experience with Monfortino but this tastes well put together to me. Pleasant drinking for an Italian for sure. Silky and resolved tannin.
