Lively nose right at the pop - intensity lowers after a bit but remains healthy and lovely. No decanting this time - doesn't need it - just drink it slowly - 30 mins in the glass. First word that came to mind was deep. After that, a dense wall of taste manifests. I mean this is a powerful Barolo. Visually, one of the more opaque renderings of Barolo. 50/5/18/12/8

Big, complex wind of old-school taste; nose immediately says Barolo; in the glass, it may fool you with inky blackness; finish is unremitting; tannins are tamed; enjoy! 50/5/13/18/9

Just wow - drinking like amazing silk right now, with no aereation; friendly assault to the nose out of the bottle, with supertypical notes of flowers and a bit of tar; quite complex on the palate, with layers of interest, including gentle herbaciousness riding across the smooth tannins on a long finish; there is a great cup of tea hidden deeply in here, but don't let that be a negative; this is a hypnotic wine now; highly rated by this drinker; righteous outlier here 50/5/14/18/9
