Has the rare opportunity to try about 30 Giacosas, all great, what a master, incredible consistency of craftsmanship, but this one was my favorite, it just had it all, perfume, structure, fruit, forest, wonderful with the truffle dinner, a post harvest treat.

Really a fantastic well aged Barolo. Vintage giacosa in a very meaningful way. A little bricking at the rim, deeply aromatic. In perfect shape with the age. Tannins still there but perfectly integrated. Great fruit and acid. An excellent pairing with prime rib and dry aged porterhouse at Keens.
