1997 Borgogno, Barolo, Storico-Liste (RT98) When first poured this was as tight as a timbale, but slowly began after time in the glass. One of the freshest wines of the night, a field of black fruits and violets explode out of the glass in an all-out assault on the senses. Very well constructed with the structure of a fortress and finish that goes on and on. Perhaps the most perfect level of acidity of any wine this evening. Exceedingly rare, if not nearly impossible to find stateside. One of the great wines of the vintage. Still needs time to reach its maximum potential. Drink 2017-2032 Tasted November 2007
