1958 Borgogno Barolo Riserva

A beautiful bottle. Has plenty of tertiary action with some truffle, earth, leather and spice action. There's vinous sweetness in the mouth along with notes of chestnut, cedar, tar and porcini. It has great volume, coating the palate with flavour and whilst tannins have all but melded away, there's still something adding composure. Brilliant wine. JH 2017
