1982 Monfortino. I love this wine. I last had it at the epic magnum vertical in London a few years ago with Vinous. At the end of the night I saved one bottle to put on the shelf, this wine (ok, the other reason was that my better half is of this vintage, but the wine had to be incredible too!). It has an iced tea quality, incredible complexity and grip. Legendary.

1982 Conterno Monfortino Barolo. Third red at post-museum lunch at Il P alongside the '82 Barbaresco and Barolo. This one was the hands down favorite of the three. Sweet, raisiny, beautiful dusty red color.
