Decanted 1,5 hours. Nice but a little to dark for my taste. I just don't prefer Barolo from La Morra, I guess. WOTN for my wife on the other hand so not a bad wine.

hard as nails, and a monster as well... this wine at this stage was just a monalithic beast. after 12 years, i was interested in checking in, but now.... shoot i would not touch it for a minimum of 5 but closer to 10. and that's coming from someone who really does not care about the enamel on his teeth...

Barolos (Becky's House): Medium dark red color. Decanted for 3 hrs. Drank 1 glass over 2.5 hrs. This really grows on you, still needing time emerge. after another hour this was singing. The nose is very earthy, damp, cherry, red cerries, cedarbox, scorched earth, dried wood. The palate is elegant, nicely layered, with nice cherry and red berry fruit, leather, cedar, long silky finish. Tannins are round and starting to loosen. 93pts. My #2 WOTN and group #1 WOTN.

Ganska ljust, frisk doft med inslag av gröna ängar, följer upp med kryddor, köttighet och l tjära. Mycket frukt i smaken och bra med tanniner, stramt och en lång TORR eftersmak. Torrheten känns länge och dövar min önskan om champagne, kanske inget för Parker men definitivt min smak,

Outstanding wine. Very classic (if not old school) with very present tannins, intense flavors and great length. Tobacco, fruit rather withdrawn, spices en amsse - and great length

This perplexed me. The 14.5% alcohol was quite apparent. It wasn't so much a "modern" Barolo, but the usual Tar and Rose aromatics were somehow competing with the alcohol. This retained balance, but no point over days days was it ever a "wow" wine, and any real depth or nuance was hard to find behind the alch. A decent bottle of Barolo, but certainly not exceptional. Will stash one for 10 years to see how it grows up.

Light purple and shows spice, raspberries, damp earth and coffee. The palate needs some work at this stage and clearly not as complex as sampled 2 years ago. Medium finish and just needs to be revisited in 3 years. 91 points

Barolo Tasting at Dave M. Condo: Nose: Spicy with black fruits. Palate: Spice with the black fruits and a very long finish. While I felt the nose on the '04' Albarella was more developed this was more delicate and showed a little better of the two Obertos.

Andrea Oberto makes lovely Burgundyesque Barolos. 04 Vigneto Rocche is delicious.

Full of flavor like the Albarella and features floral, raspberries, coffee, spices, oak, vanilla and great acidity. Another cellar wine. 95 points
