1989 Conti Boca still youthful and fresh. Decant for an hour for best results. #frannysbk

Delicate. Still so much fruit. Really opens after an hour or two. @Theo Lieberman this was off the hook.

Mellowed tannins. Green cellar funk matched with a more delicate side of Nebbiolo.

Not sure there's a better value out there. Fabu with pork short ribs and mashed rutabagas. #screwratings

1989 Conti Boca. Brought to Landmarc. Nice medium body. Decanted and let aerate for ~45 min. Great nose of tar and leather with mushrooms, earth and deep red fruits. As an attending friend said: "good wines are always stinky". Powerful flavors, still vibrant, if more toward secondary and tertiary.

Excellent Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo. Still vibrant and alive at 26+ years old. Good red and dark cherry flavor. Very clean and clear.
