1997 Bruno Giacosa Falletto Barolo



Date tasted: June, 2011
Where: Gillette, WY
Price: $$$$$$$$$
Notes: We've been on a bit of a Barolo jag of late, and were stunned to find a restaurant here in rural Wyoming with an amazing cellar. We didn't mess around, pairing the burly red with a filet and ribeye. The bottle opened a bit tight, and was never very impressive on the nose. Still, it quickly settled in to show off its structure, depth and balance. By the time we were halfway into the steaks, we were experiencing the magic, and there are no words to describe what was happening by the time the chocolate lava cake hit the table.
