In my quest to drink all my 64´s this year when I turn 60, I invited some friends and opened 15 bottles of Barolo from The Greatest Vintage Ever. It turned out great. Each flight will get its own post.
1964 Barolo Marchesi di Barolo
An open, smoky nose with notes of moist earth, dried meat, plums and asphalt. Very good in a broadshouldered way.
The taste is dry and earthy with notes of dried black fruits, undergrowth, dry licorice and leather. A very good dried up sweetness.
88p (tasted 2024/10)
1964 Barolo La Delizia, Fontanafredda
A deep, sweet nose with notes of moist earth, dried strawberries, incense and tobacco. Very lively and fine.
The taste is still concentrated and delivers a tannin kick in the finish, with notes of dried roses, wild strawberries, earth and licorice. Long and fine.
93p (tasted 2024/10)

1964 Barolo Riserva, Borgogno
A high, pure, intense nose with notes of pipe tobacco, rosehips, cooked black cherries, fir wood and shoe polish. Very fine.
The taste is tight and focused with big sweet fruit, still some tannins that give support and a long, balanced finish. Bottles like this can go on for 10+ years. Great wine.
95p (tasted 2024/10)
