This 1971 Barolo Riserva Speciale Numerata is a grand old wine, best enjoyed now to experience its full complexity. Gently decant for 1-2 hours to allow it to breathe. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F). Given its significant age, an Ah-So opener is essential for safely extracting the delicate cork.

Barolo, often called the 'King of Wines,' is a powerful Nebbiolo with firm tannins and high acidity, offering notes of rose, cherry, licorice, and evolving into tar, truffle, and leather. It's superb with rich, umami-driven Asian dishes like braised beef, lamb stew, or truffle-infused mushroom dishes.

This bottle is in excellent condition with a perfect label (score 10) and an intact capsule (score 10). The fill level is base neck (score 8), which is very good for a wine of this venerable age. Store horizontally in a cool, dark cellar with stable temperature and humidity to preserve its integrity.

Barolo Riserva Speciale Numerata from a strong vintage like 1971, especially from a reputable producer, often receives high scores from critics and is considered a prime investment. Its rarity and proven longevity make it highly desirable for collectors and investors alike.
