Barbaresco, Santo Stefano di Neive Riserva--Vintage 1988
Piedmont, Bruno Giacosa
Bottle numbered 8077, 8078, 8079, 8082, 8089, 8113, 8139
"The 1988 is the most advanced of these Santo Stefanos. It is fully mature, with notes of leather, tobacco, beef bouillon, prunes and spices on a medium-bodied frame with soft tannins and excellent length. There appears to be little upside in cellaring bottles any further and I would choose to drink my remaining bottles within the next few years. A second recent bottle appeared to be at a similar stage of its evolution. 92/drink now-" Italy Report # GX Apr 2007
