Score 93/100 · Drink 2013, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2007

The 1979 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe is a revelation. Powerful, fresh and structured, this is muscular yet delicate Barolo provides stunning balance in its leather, white truffle, menthol and sweet dark fruit flavors. Made in a somewhat slender style, it doesn't quite have the body of the best wines of this tasting, but it isn't too far off. I would be thrilled to own bottles of this exemplary, classic Barolo. Despite its nearly 30 years of age, it appears to still have plenty of life ahead of it.
