Wednesday, April 3, 2019 - This is a top notch wine from what I think is the greatest of the modern style barolo viintages. And I am fine with drinking it now since I like my wines a bit more bracing rather than perfectly balanced - a bit more acid, a bid more tannin - on the gloriously ffruit bomby side, not for me. Well you are a neophite I guess is the response. You basically make it clear that you know nothing about wine.To fully appreciate this wine as everyoine who knows anything about wine knows, , you have to wait fifteen years or so. Really? And even if that is your taste, you don't know anything about wine. Well, actually, read my tasting notes all the way back. 1990 Dujac's,1971 Burgundies etc. etc. etc. My point is, once you go through all of this over many years, don't let the prevailing opinion dismiss how you like your wines. Will I enjoy this wine plenty in fifteen years? Yes. But do I fully enjoy it now? Yes. Will it be wine infanticide to me if I drink all my bottles in the next twelve months? No, not a chance.
