Omg - feel like this is getting better and better. This last bottle showed brilliant complexity, graphite, cassis, black currents and some sous bois. Im so glad I held on to these and have 2 more bottles remaining. What a treat.

Tasted yesterday with a sip from Coravin, very tannic, some licorice. Today opened the bottle and airated it with Menu Airator. WOW, this is good. This is biodynamic and it shows - it shines!. Tannins resolved and its true self is showing. On the nose dark fruit reminiscent of a plum pie my grandmother used to make with a bit of coco and hints of coffee. On the tongue, a firm acidic attack, raspberry’s that give away dark plums, cherries - tannins still firm with licorice, grasses, menthol, coffee and chocolate present. There is a long, peppery finish and it just fades into the tongue. I really like this, it needs lots of time today, but in 7+ years, this will be stupendous..

Purchased to try it - I’d purchased the Langhe Nebbiolo and found something i really liked so tried the Barolo. I really like this - roses, cherries, mint and menthol on the nose. On the tongue, fine tannins, beautiful mouth feel - thick, almost syrupy. Roses, cherries, mint and menthol; all of it a bit restrained. I really like this.
