  NV Rogna (Marta, NYC): [Double decanted around 1pm for about 3 hours.] Beautiful nose of black fruit and tar. Just gorgeous in the mouth. Expansive, long. WOTN for me.

  The truly captivating 2005 Barolo Vigna Rionda displays dusty florals and crushed stone. It’s dark and brooding, yet continues to open in the glass, as rich black cherry comes to the fore. It's also surprisingly similar on the palate to the Cappellano tasted beside it, with intense cherry-berry concentration and that hint of volatility that propels everything to another dimension. Balsam herbs, a pretty inner sweetness and hard red candies linger incredibly long. Wow, there are many more years of pleasure to be found here.

  Wine Spectator 40th Anniversary; 10/21/2021-10/23/2021 (Marriott Marquis): The wine was not quite right although we still drank it. First bottle was tons of brett. Second bottle was better although still not as expressive as a Roagna normally is. Less delicate and more barnyard.

  Moden og fin. Flott duft, markant tjære, litt tobakk, sursøt stil, Modne tanniner.

  Decanted about 8 hours.
  As with my other bottle a couple of years ago, I thought the nose exceeded the palate, but certainly a good wine and into its drinking window.
