Magnificent collection! Which have been your favorites? Please rank.

'71 Monfortino is one of the greatest of all wines I’ve had the privilege to drink followed by the awesome '85. My '61 was not a stellar example and have yet to try the '78.

It is a magnificent collection! Sadly it’s not mine. Those are the bottles on display in the Giacomo Conterno tasting room in Monforte.

I’d be very keen on trying a '78 as it’s my birth year.

I could spend all day ranking Monfortino…I really truly think that 61 is the single best one right at this very moment. Not to say its the greatest of all time, but its the one I’d want to drink right now all day long. A pristine bottle of 58 is also really spectacular. 70 and 71 next among the incredible ones today. Believe it or not, 64 still feels like its got a ways to go. 78 is the same. 67 is pretty solid as well but not quite as good as the others. That’s about it for the really ready to drink ones! Then you get into 82 which has forever and a day to go…

That’s some impressive knowledge right there Daniel. Thanks for sharing!
