Tasting notes
The 1971 Barolo Monprivato is from a much more important vintage than the 1970, but here the entire surface of the vineyard was used, meaning the wine is composed of various clones. The 1971 is a soft, floral and delicate Barolo with tons of class. Clean, mineral notes define the long and supremely pure finish. As great as the wine is, it can't match the profound 1970. That said, the 1971 is still in magnificent shape.

Good amber-edged medium-deep color. Musky aromas of red berries, truffle, gunflint and mint. Sweet, thick and generous in the mouth, but the enticing red fruit flavors also boast superb vinosity and definition. Finishes with huge tongue-coating tannins that turned drier as the wine opened in the glass.
