Nice flowery and fruity nose. I think I will keep my other bottles a few more years to see if and how it can develop further.
The acidity is at a nice very old balsamic level. β 5 months ago
Peppery plum is really shining through on this one. Red licorice and dried spice accents. Tannic grape skin gives it some grip. Long raisin finish. Like the Sun-Maid boxes I ate as a kid. A little sweet for me, but still good quality. Also added some to the passata Iβm making from heirloom tomatoes, and itβs quite nice. β 7 months ago

First time trying a Methode Champenoise from Barolo and Iβm not disappointed! Elegant and bright, light on its feet with tart cranberry and raspberry. Very dry and tons of fun! β 4 years ago

Was really interesting day one. Started w lots of herbal and spice elements. Then more fruit after some air. Day two was much less interesting. Got flabby and syrupy. Should try again. β 4 years ago
A wine worth trying with its fine flavours. β 6 years ago
Opened just prior to service and poured into a decanter. This is the second time I have had the opportunity to enjoy the 1967 Riserva although, the previous bottle was a more recent library release from the Borgogno cellars. This was a period release and yet, the experience was similar.
The 1967 Riserva pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core moving towards a slightly orange rim. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears and some slight signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous but showing much more power than the β67 Abbazia SS Annunziata we drank on the same evening. Again, there is a lovely mix of ripe and desiccated red and dark fruits with forest floor, porcini, dried roses, tar, some tobacco, dried herbs, dusty earth and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is dry; medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long a savory. My previous notes suggested to drink now and while I still hold fast to that statement, twice in the span of 18mos with two separate bottlings encourages me to be a bit more bullish and suggest this has many years, perhaps decades left in the tank. β 4 months ago

Citrus forward with notable viscosity in a way so many skin contact wines could only dream of. β 7 months ago
Dry, citrus, underripe green apple, crisp acidity. Enjoyable but not that complex. Muscadet like. β 3 years ago
