Fully mature, in it's tertiary phase, no sign of fruit, but very very well carved wine, nose of tea, licorice, dried rose petals, palate sublimely balance, drunk over the course of 2 hours and really enjoyed, mastery of a wine in a vintage that has been very difficult for Barolo. Drink, rather than hold

Lovely bouquet of fruit, roses and a touch of autumn leaves, just like one could expect from a good Barolo. Medium body but a touch too much acidity over the fruit. Not a great vintage but still a very good and enjoyable wine. Peaked after about an hour but lost it completely after 3.

Could have used more air. I think I gave it 3-4 hours, and it was still improving. Not the greatest vintage, but still a real treat. Nice showing.

Ash and tar and roses. Licourice and liquified black cherries. Masculine and typical Barolo

Lovely pure fruit on the nose and initially on the palate then this shut down rock hard.
