Barolo Riserva
1996
Borgogno was established in 1761 by Bartolomeo Borgogno and has long been one of the most recognized names in Piedmont. Evidence of the estate's fame comes from the selection of Borgogno Barolo as the wine served at the celebration dinner for the Italian Unification in 1861. From this point on it was one of the House of Savoy's official suppliers and was regularly served to visiting dignitaries.

Ce rouge est difficile à battre, mais il sera meilleur dans 10 ans. Habilement équilibré, il offre des arômes et des saveurs de cerise, de petits fruits, d'eucalyptus, de fer et de goudron. La structure bien intégrée entraîne la finition longue et complexe. Approchable maintenant, pourtant les tanins sont toujours affirmés. Un Barolo classique issu d'un grand millésime. Meilleur de 2021 à 2046.

This is a superb old Barolo showing spice, cedar, meat and dried-berry character. Full body with chewy tannins and a long, long finish. Amazing.

Des arômes de saucisses, de fruits mûrs et de fleurs se transforment en champignons et truffes. Corsé, avec des tanins veloutés et une finale décadente. Un vin qui change continuellement dans le verre. C'est délicieux et excitant maintenant. Sortie tardive de ce vin.

Farinetti cites this 1982 as his inspiration to reintroduce fermentation in cement with indigenous yeasts. Considered an excellent year, from summer through to harvest it was warm and dry with lots of wind and little humidity. It is properly garnet in colour, yet energetic and animated on the nose, possessing a wild, meaty personality along with truffle, wet soil and forest fragrances. Corseted and dense, the palate offers mouthwatering acidity and a savoury edge, while pepper and clove notes lace the finish This is simply a pleasure to drink.

Borgogno's 1982 Barolo Riserva is outstanding, but frankly it is a bit overwhelmed next to some of the other wines on the table.

Élevage, mais plus frais que le '97, il offre des arômes et des saveurs de menthe, de menthol, de cerise et de réglisse, avec des touches de thé et d'épices. Racé et linéaire, présentant une finale longue et vibrante, cela reste un peu sec au final. Meilleur de 2016 à 2035.
