Once again, the King of Barolo has fashioned a wine for the ages. The 1998 is simply mindblowing! "The 1998 Monfortino is a monumental effort. It opens with a huge nose of licorice, roses and cocoa, then flows onto the palate with masses of sweet concentrated dark fruit that go on forever. Notes of mineral and leather gradually develop in the glass, adding further complexity as this great wine begins to reveal its expansive and profound personality. The 1998 is unusually open right now. As was the case with the 1997 at this stage, it should offer a brief drinking window over the next 6-9 months before shutting down for what is likely to be an extended period prior to awakening in the glorious prime of its life." 97 points Antonio Galloni /drink after 2013, 11/05 Click Here to view all Products in our ITALY Category
