BBC Long weekend 2021; 6/11/2021-6/13/2021: amazing mustard weed rose petal floral / herbal nose, ink and tar spice, bright complex but clearly old profile. Bright purple, bizarrely youthful colour. Lovely ripe fruits, still with fine tannins, and good acidity. Some earth, but nothing obviously oxidative. 6/11/2021

This particular bottle was stellar, jumping from the glass in a vibrant mélange of black cherries, dark berries, camphor, gentle notes of road tar, woodsmoke, forest floor, fennel seed and onion skin. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and at its apogee, with lovely depth at the core, beautiful resolution and a very long, focused and tangy finish that closes with lovely detail and grip. High class juice and a great value for a 1964 Barolo. Drink: 2014-2040. (Jul/Aug 2014)
