Community Tasting Notes 2

  January 19, 2016 - Monthly Tuesday group #005: Barolo at least 5 years old (By JdB): Very transparent orange brown color. In the bouquet tea, autumn impressions, nuts, barnyard, tobacco, some leather, lovage and barnyard. On the palate chocolate, cold coffee, mushrooms, currants and raisins. Completely melted tannin. Very mature alright, but still drinkable and even not really unpleasant, but even complex. For me personally too old, but I can imagine there are people who like these really tertiary impressions. The wine itself is still ok. No score.

  June 23, 2014 - Chicago Wine Flock...Gary Opening Well Aged Barolo (Ada Street - Chicago IL): Open several hours before serving. My least favorite of the flight. Nice spice and floral elements on nose to start, but I found very little of interest on the palate with rather assertive acidity. Deteriorated over 30 minutes in glass.
