  This was a bottle that seemed oxidized first, but „recovered“ a little with more air, even if this doesn‘t make much sense. Mature notes of old-school Barolo, similar to some of my last bottles, it‘s not my best but also not my worst bottle of this, showing the silky texture and finesse Cappellano can show when it‘s on, but also a little too much oxidation for my personal taste. Still enjoyable to drink a glass or two, clearly inferior to Elio Grasso Barolo Gavarini Chiniera 2004 and Brovia Barolo Ca‘Mia 2004 on this day though.

  Last bottle, quite similar to the previous. Great fruit, solid tannins.

  2006 Barolo (Trattoria One Fifth, NYC.): [Double-decanted for one hour around 10am.] Muted nose of black fruit and brown sugar. Mature but complex and long. Too advanced for this wine after only 18 years. I hope this was just an off bottle. Others in the group said they've had this with random bottles of this wine.

  Decanted 4 hours prior, poured very clean with classic Barolo pale orange color. Enjoyed the bottle atTre Scalini in Bethlehem. Glad I have more.

  The nose was too maderized to be scored. The palate was nice and polished though.
