Written Notes

Nicht die allerbeste Flasche war leider der 1989 Barolo Granbussia Riserva von Aldo Conterno, die auf hohem Niveau schon leichte Ermüdungserscheinungen zeigte. Aber mit schöner, roter Kirsche, mit viel Würze, Kräutern, mit erdiger Mineralität und viel Tiefgang war das immer noch ein großer Wein – WT95. Schlimmer erging es der 1990 Barolo Granbussia Riserva von Aldo Conterno. Die war schlicht und einfach oxidiert. Aber das kann bei jedem Wein und bei jeder Best Bottle passieren. No risk – no fun. Ganz Vorsichtige bringen da schon mal eine Reserveflasche mit. Beim edlen Spender des geilen 70er Flights war das wahrlich unnötig. Der gute Tobias öffnete trotzdem seine Reserveflasche, einen eigentlich wunderbaren 1955 Latour. Aber auch der war oxidiert und hin. Zum Erstaunen auch seines Lieferanten, der direkt neben ihm saß.
