Saturday, June 17, 2023 - Fully mature Barolo. Pretty heavily bricked on decanting but 3 hours later it was less so and clearly had a darker ruby core. Nose is effusive with rich black earth, truffles, a little game meat, rose petals and some spice notes along with just a touch of VA/acetone. Palate has just a trifle tannin left and a mostly smooth, rich mouth feel. Finish is long and earthy. Near end of life in the case of this bottle. Enjoyable with some grilled, venison backstrap.
