94 Points
Thursday, October 8, 2020 - Truffles and Such with Barolo & Barbaresco (David's Place, Mpls): Light medium murky orange-maroon hue. Heavy flocculent sediment. PNP, drank a glass over 3 hours. This bottle was much like a bottle we enjoyed about a year ago. This was in perfect shape, and showing well immediately out of the gate, but like before - and so often, this just gradually blossomed into a true beauty. Brilliantly floral potpourri nose, saddle leather, very earthy with a little funk, perfumed red fruits, fine cocoa shavings, just a hint of vegetal aromas. The palate oozed saddle leather, floral, red fruits and lots of mixed dried herbs, just lovely with excellent length and balance. Great bottle 94(+?)pts.
