Very vigorous and translucent. Bright fresh cherry, some slightly shrill acid and lovely soft focussed fruit. As always with Borgogno, this is lean, mean and built to age forever. Good stuff.

1931. A bit like a Madeira but OMG. With Chingale pasta. Feels like being in Piedmont.

Beginning to show some secondary notes. Leathery, but youthful tannins.
