In this context Cavallotto's 1978 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe came across as somewhat simple. It exhibited floral aromatics and pretty, candied red fruits in a remarkably accessible, sappy style for this vintage. The wine gained volume and depth with air, and my impression is that we finished the bottle before it was at its most harmonious.
