Community Tasting Note

gilrbo Likes this wine:

Saturday, October 25, 2014 - Barolo-Barbaresco 2001 (and perhaps older...). (Bern): Classic nose, quite floral, with underlying red fruit.
Tannic, dense, very intense, classic.

4 days later: some oxidation on the nose, but this dissipates - anyway this is now on darker notes, not floral anymore, almost towards chocolate and locust beans. Very compact. Intense and dark notes on the palate too. Strong tannins, but not excessive, fine grained. It has substance, it's powerful and intense.
I liked it more than the Asili on day one, but after three days, the Asili was clearly better.
