Ran through aerater and decanted in the glass for another hour. Classic barolo look, nose and taste. Tannins were integrated nicely with a vibrant Cherry scent. Improved as the night went along. Glad I have 2 left.

7hr decant. Pleasant aroma of leather, spice, tobacco, cherry and licorice. Tastes of licorice, cinnamon and blackberry. Chewy tannins and surprisingly well integrated alcohol (perhaps the 7 hr decant helped) for a 2010. Very enjoyable drinking experience; paired nicely with filet mignon and crisp baked red potatoes with olive oil, oregano and rosemary. Great QPR for $30.

3hr decant. Nose of plum, fig and lily. Body is enjoyable with integrated tannins and alcohol. Tastes of licorice, raspberry and a bit of menthol. Strong finish; the 15%abv is more pervasive here, but not overwhelming. Very enjoyable and great QPR @ $30.
