G'day

This was one of the highlights of a quiet Sunday lunch with friends.

Produttori Del Barbaresco Cru Martinenea Riserva Speciale 1967 (Piemonte Italy): Very pale garnet in colour. Initial V.A. Intense meaty and ferrous nose, with sour cherry, strawberry (which fell away after a few minutes), five spice, nutmeg and rose petal. There was more sour cherry on the palate. Tannins are well integrated, and acid is quite high. Medium to long finish. We considered that this might have been undrinkable when young, but was an experience at 55 years of age.

Cheers
Allan

A rather special wine as not much later the grower left the co-op and this SV bottling ended

Thanks Ian. I didn't know that, and I suspect the owner of the bottle didn't either. He soon will!

cool - It's Marchesi di Gresy who now have access to that vineyard
