We were able to get a nice lot of the 1964 Barolo Riserva from Giacomo Borgogno. This selection from Giacomo Borgogno has red capsules, which indicates the bottles have not been topped off. 1964 is one of the best Riserva vintages from Borgogno and is also an increasingly hard bottle to find, with pricing steadily climbing ever since we began offering them years ago. We are happy to offer this at this low pricing today, and this lot is coming from another very cold cellar in Europe. The bottles are in fantastic condition and have been thoroughly inspected.
These are smart buys and great values for decades-old traditional Barolo. Borgogno is always one of our most requested producers for older Barolo and is a great bottle for birth years (those turning 60 next year), special wine dinners, or those that just enjoy properly aged Barolo. There are some great notes on Cellartracker for this bottle, with an average score of 91.8. As supply dwindles, this could be one of the last times we can offer this bottle, so if you are interested, please consider that!
John Gilman 90 points! "The last pristine example of the ’64 Borgogno Barolo Riserva offered up a complex and fully mature nose of cherries, camphor, forest floor, tar, anise and a bit of bonfire in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and tarry, with lovely complexity, good focus and still a bit of untamed tannin to resolve perking up the long finish. Like many of the Borgognos from this era, this is not the most elegant rendition of Barolo, but it is deep, complex and has matured nicely into a wine that offers up the blossoming of bottle age and is a good example of the vintage."
