The classic 1995 Barolo Monfalletto is an old style vin de garde. It reveals a dark ruby/garnet color, and an earthy nose of truffles, black cherries, tar, and dried herbs. Rich and full-bodied, with excellent concentration, it needs 3-4 years of cellaring, and should keep for 15 years. It will be uncommonly long-lived for a 1995.
