Have been pulling this bottle out and putting it back in for a couple of months now, but at last.
Bought it on Catawiki so I was kind of anxious if it would be the real deal or not, and gladly it is the real deal.
Made a spot on dinner on the side.
The wine was still so lively and fruity. A lot of red fruit in the early stages, nice sour notes and a garnet red eye. After a few moments it went more tertiary, foresty and a little funghi like to come back to more ripe fruits, a lot of cherry.
After all it was clear that the wine was over his peak, but it was still crazy good at 36 years of age. Just wow!

Had it a couple of years ago, and it was stellar. One of the greatest wines I’ve had. Glad you enjoyed it!
An extremely generous friend gave me a bottle to celebrate a recent promotion – so I was excited to see your post!
It sounds like it’s ready to go, so I will have to get them over and drink it with them!
Wow – I just bought some Barolo from catawiki, also pleasantly surprised.
Colour looks amazing!!
Hahaha just saw your post on r/steak now I see your post here. Again, nice wine selection
Amazing, glad you enjoyed it! I have one in my cellar, since it’s my wife’s birth year, and am eager to try it.
