1985 Giacosa Collina Rionda di Serralunga Nebbiolo. Group lunch at Ner w Hrtn, McC. Raisiny and pruney at first. More sweet than I tend to like. But it def mellowed and lost some of that cloying sweetness after some time in the decanted. We only decanted right before drinking and it prob could have used more time opening up. When it did, it was excellent. — 9 years ago

Another great Portuguese red, full of flavour and great with a rustic chilli con carne, will be adding a couple of these to the wine rack. — 9 years ago
Digging this one too. Classic prune, deep flavor from the petit Verdot. Really nice not overly extracted. — 10 years ago

Nice fruit and light, not as much tannins, smokiness too, some baking spices maybe. Cherries definitely, not as weighty in the mouth. — 10 years ago

Tasted blind. Dark tawny color. Translucent but barely so. Fragrant nose. Italian is the first verbal guess. Notes of black cherry, black soil, rose petals and some wood. Chewy in the mouth. Young and refined. After debating if it's an 89 or a 90 Barolo I go with a guess of 82 Giacosa SS Barbaresco. A great treat to try this side by side against the 78 Conterno Monfortino. Giacosa wins tonight. — 8 years ago
Paired with fajitas, nice, dry frizzante. Tart but with acidity. A fun wine! — 10 years ago
