From what I have experienced, Borgogno needs serious sediment management and a lot of time in decanter. Stored this for a long time and stood it up carefully for a while before opening. Decanted for 5 hours in a flat bottom-decanter. Other than being a little thin on the body and the mouthfeel, it is classic Barolo -- tea, roses, cherry, licorice and truffle. Not overwhelming, but very nice.

We have been through your cellar and noticed some fantastic wines. We run a collective subscription, offering rare and difficult to find wines to our exclusive members.
Our members subscribe monthly, Maggie then hand-selects a bottle and places it within your box, with a limited edition, printed piece description of the wine of that month. Then, twice a year you receive 12-24 bottles of wine; like a 2004 Domaine François Raveneau, Chablis, Butteaux, 1er Cru ($466,00) and 2017 Domaine Coche-Dury, Corton Rouge, Hospices de Beaune - Charlotte Dumay, Grand Cru ($488,98), delivered to your door.
We would like to invite you to our collective. If this is something that interests you, or if you have any questions, please let me know and I would be happy to talk.
We look forward to hearing from you.
