“The 1985 Barolo Riserva Monfortino captures all of the radiance of this warm vintage in its creamy, open-knit personality. An unusually succulent, plush Monfortino, the 1985 is an undeniably racy, alluring wine. Licorice, sweet pipe tobacco, mocha, leather and cedar are all laced into a core of intense dark-toned fruit... thrilling.”
