Community Tasting Note

Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

Friday, November 8, 2013 - Slow-O 2 hours, then aerated to decanter 3 hours, served non-blind. Much fresher, fuller and with noticeably fewer tertiary traits than the previous bottle - heck, the color alone suggested this was far from its grave. Excellent (traditional) typicity, and balance, and in a very good spot right now. Seemed to hit its stride at the 4-hour open mark, and slide, albeit slightly, from that point forward. Quite pretty (and tasty), on its own, stellar with a black truffle risotto, but paled once the '97 Conterno Colonello was opened. My last of 3, direct from the producer's cellar. Drink thru 2016, 14,5% abv, recommended
