FINE WINES OF PIEDMONT AND TUSCANY
Barbaresco, Santo Stefano, Riserva Speciale--Vintage 1978
Piedmont. Estate-bottled: Bruno Giacosa
Corroded capsules and nine with signs of old seepage. One loose, one badly damaged, two damaged, one slightly damaged and all slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels: seven base of neck, three very top and two top-shoulder. In Christie's carton
Tasting Note: The 1978 Barbaresco Riserva Santo Stefano showed why this wine is justly regarded by many as one of the world's greatest wines. It too was deeply coloured and revealed a massive core of dark fruit, with mentholated, balsamic nuances that gradually emerged from its towering frame. The 1978 remains a monumental achievement among Giacosa's most legendary wines. This bottle was breathtaking. Wine Advocate (May 2008)
