Nose was a little odd at first. Touch of volatility, maybe a slightly stewed note. Opened c3 hrs before dinner by the time we drank it it had cleaned up. Dark, brooding savoury notes. Huge contrast with the Burgundian Monprivato 2009 alongside. (At Wild Flor.)

Mein erster Voerzio Cerequio. Ich vermute 2009 ist nicht der größte Jahrgang für diesen Wein!? Anfangs stehen Frucht und vor allem der Gerbstoff noch merklich nebeneinander. Nach 3 h in der Karaffe ist das dann aber zu einem wirklich schönem, stark rotfruchtigem Barolo mit fast vollem Körper geworden. Trinkt sich dann wirklich schon sehr schön, wird aber bestimmt von noch 3-5 Jahren Flaschenreife profitieren! Trotz allem wohl nicht ganz groß!?

This wine has really improved since my last bottles! A wonderful Barolo that is drinking fantastic now! It needed 1+ hours of air. An amazing nose of ripe red fruit, sweet flowers and spices, with hints of graphite, leading to a lush smooth mouth.
Enjoyed at Barbusa in San Diego.

Perfumed and expressive notes of dried fruit, sweet red fruit, tar, some graphite, licorice and some sweet spices. It's medium-full bodied, pretty rich with medium-high acidity and high tannin adding grip and freshness. Excellent length. This is still very young in terms of evolution. I would give this quite a few years before tasting again. Very impressive though. (94+)

No formal note but this wine took 3 hours in a decanter to come around. A really nice wine!
