Purchased from an estate sale of a collector for $75 as a bit of a gamble. “Riserva” sticker with the vintage and the back label missing. The cork seemed to say “196-“ but was pretty hard to read.
Tons of dried fruit and zero transparency in the color, but still has acid and dusty tannins with structure. Red fruit finish. I haven’t had a lot of bottles with this much age but very interesting!

This was a great barolo maker in the ’60’s; I have a 1968 in my cellar that I am saving for a special occasion!
These guys make Barolo that can age forever! Good find. I had the 1947 recently and loved it.
