98 was not a great vintage and why Giacosa bottled the SS as a red label has long been a bit of a mystery. There’s a lot in this wine to like, and no reason to leave it sitting in the cellar. Fully mature, ample bricking, softer but still lively fruit, rich mouthfeel with classic sous bois, a bit of iron, red berry and herbal overlay, and soft maybe a bit overripe tannin. Lovely, but not near Giacosa’s most memorable SSRs. — 4 months ago

Smooth, dry, medium body, lemon accents, paired very well with linguine à la vongele. — 9 months ago
Lovely dark fruit with soft leather notes and a pleasant terroir, aged beautifully, sadly last bottle! — 9 months ago

Beautiful wine with homemade shrimp cocktail for Oscar night. Think I’d have some buyer’s remorse at full retail. @Delectable where did all my wines go? My library only shows 78? — 8 months ago

Double decanted hours before service but still began to shut down at dinner. Still needs time! — 2 days ago
