1971 Giacosa Montefico

1971 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Montefico;

Pale ruby, brick rim, mushrooms, sour cherries, sweetish on the palate. Nice acidity, ripe tannins and good length. I have a feeling that it was either not an optimum bottle or should have been decanted to open up. It was opened a long time, the last bottle I had was better, and had been open for five hours, even if I'm not always sure opening them is enough..... 89
