Barolo Nebbiolo
The best bottle of the 1971 I have ever had. Tremendous fruit intensity, power and depth, with none of the barnyard flavors that afflict many bottles. What fine, aged Barolo from this era is all about. Superb.

Eight hours slowly aired and then decanted off heavy sediment. Just brilliant orange and ruby hues. Soaring aromas and a silky feel. What a treat.
