Medium red. A highly perfumed bouquet displays red fruit preserves, smoked meat and potpourri. Deeply pitched redcurrant and bitter cherry flavors show a slight medicinal reserve, which makes this wine seem far younger than it is. The potpourri note builds with air and carries through a long, chewy, smoky finish. Definitely let this air out for an hour or so. (JR)

Giuseppe Rinaldi's 1961 Barolo, a last minute addition, is fascinating. We open two bottles, both purchased from Chambers Street Wines, one of New York City's most reliable shops. The first bottle is unusually dark and intense, probably from the addition of Barbera, the other is more inline with a 50 year-old Barolo. Both are interesting to taste, to say the least. (AG)
