This is in really good shape. Faded cherry, dried flowers, some leather and dried oak. A lovely supple palate with surprisingly rich fruit still. Lovely and rounded and resolved with tannins absorbed. Great stuff.

Fontanafredda Barolo 1955; tertiary fruit and a bit leathery, but completely intact and correct. A special holiday treat.
