Community Tasting Note

Venice Al Likes this wine:

Friday, August 18, 2023 - Restaurant note. 3 hour decant, returned to bottle and then 90 minute more decant before dinner course.
Pale tawny, but surprisingly clear
Heady spices, tar and smoke, soy, wood spice, floral, roses, cherry, mushroom, Indian spices, clove, dried herbs. Complex wine. Best taste was last taste at dinner’s end after total of 6+ hour decant. Old school Barolo, and Giacosa in particular, once again needs more time than you would think and in the case of older vintages, may be willing to risk in fear of missing the sweet spot.
