The 1964 Barolo Monfortino, which I decanted in Maryland before making the trek to Brooklyn, probably suffered from being drunk six hours after it had been opened and decanted. The wine reveals generous amounts of amber to the color, a lusty, seaweed, dried herb, spicy nose, but fading, fragile flavors. Some glycerin and exuberance remain, but this wine is past its plateau of maturity.
