This wine is drinking really well right now! It opens up after about an hour and is delicious. It is very layered on both the nose and tongue. The funk is perfect and definitely has notes of truffle. The funk comes first then you get a fruit forward wave of cherry, current and maybe even a little cranberry. The ending of this wine is more bold chewy sweet dried fruit. Paired amazing with formaggio plin with white truffles shaved on top. Amazing!

Pnp this wine exploded out of the bottle and was textbook Produttori for about 45 minutes and it subsequently shut down hard. Was very surprised at the elegance and purity of this wine at the beginning of the tasting. Not sure what to make of this... I thought this wine would be fading after 19 years and an over hyped vintage that was warm. They sure know whats up ... thx Aldo 92 on a bad day If this wine would have unwound a bit 94

Plum, leather, red cherry, raspberry on the nose. Huge tobacco, leather, spice, blackberry, cherry, cigar box, cedar on the palate. Silky texture though, with medium tannins that came out more as the wine opened. Such a difference from yesterday's Barolo. Long finish, definitely feel the alcohol. Very cool and interesting wine.

Really nice. Decanted 1 hour prior to drinking and consumed over the next 4 hours. Red licorice, red fruits on the palate with hints of black licorice and flowers in the background. Tannins did not get in the way of the fruit. Probably could survive more bottle time without deteriorating, but more time is not required.
