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 ‘67 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. — 2 days ago

Tar and dried flowers on the nose. Lovely resolved dried fruit. Some lifted floral notes with a sherried tang to the end of the midpalate. Great mouthfeel for its age. Good stuff- and really delicate notes coming through — 3 months ago

Dense and masculine. Broad white thick fruit. Nice rounded edges. Lacks a little of the complexity of the 67 and 64 but good solid fruit. — 3 months ago

A Barolo in all but name (“No Name”). A beautiful expression of Nebbiolo. — 12 days ago

Soft brown in color. Toasted notes with dried fruit, soft plum, tar and some high toned acidity. A slightly austere palate but a haunting fragrant quality. Very pretty. You need to lean in a bit to see the beauty — 3 months ago

"Odedi"

9.1

Ruby/ brick in color with medium intensity.

Strong nose of red fruits with earth, light vegetables, light wood, tobacco and chocolate notes.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, spices, peppercorn, light wood, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth and light vegetables.

Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 5 year old Barolo from the famous Canubi Vineyard is still a little rigid right now, but already enjoyable. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years, with good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Wine Advocate 93 points.

Very tasty and a good food wine that will pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were only 20% destemmed. Aged for 3 years in large Slavonian oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

The color of weak coffee with some bottle of the bottom gunk. Va on the nose and light notes of roses and dried fruit. On the palate very pure and lifted. Obviously aged but softening with air and bright and pretty. What a surprise given it’s a centurion. — 3 months ago

昔、ずいぶん綺麗で良かったのだが、最後に飲んだのが、ボリューム感が強くなって、それ以来ご無沙汰。調べてみたら2018で、どちらかと言うと雨の多いしんどい年だったようなんだけど、なんでだろ…

まぁそれはともかく久しぶりに飲んだこちらは、初めて飲んだ時のいいイメージが帰ってきて、素晴らしい出来。
赤い花系の華やかさ、チャーミングな酸とタンニン、すごく良い感じにまとまっている。

プチバローロ ではなく、ランゲネッビオーロとしての独自性を有している。

ペアリング的には鰹ではなく、鰯のトマト煮にピッタリ。
多分、赤身の魚ではなく、青魚が良いんだと思う。 — 4 months ago
