Left behind on our table at La Festa del Barolo, this is showing quite well after 48 hours of air. Still nearly opaque with just a hint of onion skin on the edge. Big smokey nose of sweet black fruits with hints of beef and roses. Thick in the mouth with firm tannic structure, I would say this still has 5-8 years before it reaches it peak. Very good length. Impressive!

2016 La Festa Del Barolo. Got a small taste of this. Terrific wine. It soared from the glass with brilliance, focus and finesse.

Gala Dinner of La Festa del Barolo (Del Posto Restaurant, NYC): A very good wine, but pales a bit after all these great wines.
