Great. Black cherry with some strawberry. Beautiful richness and clear fruit. Some leather and tangy woody orange. Very pure and intense. Excellent. From mag.

The best bottle of the 1971 I have ever had. Tremendous fruit intensity, power and depth, with none of the barnyard flavors that afflict many bottles. What fine, aged Barolo from this era is all about. Superb.

Slightly cloudy. Shrill sour cherry. Lovely purity. Bright and lifted fruit.

Finally had my aha moment with this wine. Pristine bottle from a stunning vintage. Thrilled and privileged to try such a great example. A revelation for me.

What a treat! 51 years old! Opened two bottles, one of them was just past (totally drinkable) but the second one was perfect.
