Wow! This has aged very well. Blackberry and raspberry notes combined with licorice and pepper/spices. Silky and long finish. Paired amazingly perfectly with cacio e pepe. The finish went on and on with the pepper! Also paired really well with short ribs and buttery mashed potatoes. And paired really well with a poached lobster, mango, red pepper, and avocado dish. I hope people still have a few of these in their cellar! (123 views)

Ruby red, translucent with some some lightening toward the rim. Nose is clean with some floral and a bit of light smoke. Wish I was getting more from the nose. The palate is much stronger with dark cherries, some chocolate, and banking spices. Finish has depth. Overall this is in good balance and I can see of few more years of this peaking. (1121 views)

Not very expressive bouquet. Good balance with acid plus and secondary flavors. Softened but noticeable tannins. Medium length. Worked amazingly well with Osso Buco on safron risotto. (874 views)

Consumed two bottles of this Barolo on the same night with friends at Rose's Luxury in downtown DC (great restaurant BTW). Decanted them separately for 1-1.5 hrs before consuming. I actually tried one of the bottles before leaving my house using a Coravin and the win definitely needed time to breath and open up.

This wine was excellent and borderline amazing.

Lots of fragrance on the nose including red fruit (blackberries I believe), oak, and some wild flowers. At times I got a whiff of anise too.

The flavors on the palate include a little oak, dark fruit, and spices. This is definitely a full bodied wine and the tannins were velvety which gave the wine a very smooth and long finish.

I don't know how much the wine will improve from here because I would say the tannins are fully integrated now, however, there is still enough tannin and acidity to allow it to cellar for a while longer IMHO.

Bottom line is I am glad I have more of this wine in my cellar. (1181 views)

Fully mature with aromas of violet, potpourri, earth, licorice, a bit of dark cherry. The flavors match with the fruit a bit more forward. Integrated medium tannins/acid. Tasty stuff, should last through its 15th birthday though I don't see it improving further. (1737 views)

Opened, poured into a decanter, and tasted about 1 hour after decanting.
Dark purple/red color. Just the slightest sign of bricking around the edge.
Rose petal nose with dark black fruits.
Wonderful flavors of cherries with that floral element coming through on the finish. Tannins well integrated. There is a nice softness to this wine. Delicious. (1835 views)
