Grape Expectations: Burgundy 1978 Retrospective

It was a privilege to attend this 1978 horizontal—however, there is always a risk when broaching old bottles, especially Pinot Noir from an era besmirched by swings in quality. Fortunately, scattered among the disappointments is a clutch of bottles that sparkle like rubies in the sand.

2022 Santadi Cannonau di Sardegna Noras

2022 Santadi Cannonau di Sardegna Noras, 92 points

The 2022 Cannonau di Sardegna Noras sizzles with a mix of crushed rocks, sage, blood orange and dried cherries. It’s fleshy in feel, with weighty textures offset by fresh acidity and fine tannins. The 2022 finishes with fantastic length and structure. I love the tension and complexity here. (EG)

The 1979 is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. At 45 years of age, the 1979 remains timeless, a testament to how well Champagne can age.
