Last bottle of this, and once again no disappointments. This held up well since the last time we tried it and reading my previous notes I would say that there has not been much of a change except maybe now a complete integration of the wood. This was a successful vintage for this producer and the wine performed well. I do not see any furthest upside from here. If u got them drink'em.

A deep ruby coloring when poured with amazing aromatics -- could smell the freshly poured wine halfway across the room. Initial flavor notes or bright red fruits particularly cherry and rhubarb. As the wine evolved in the glass, more mature Barolo notes appeared including some tar and leather (although the fruit never completely faded. A bit light on the finish, but a well evolved wine.

I wish I had drank a year or two earlier. There was a hint of greatness unfortunately this bottle was past its peak and clearly on the decline. It opened up after 2 hours but overall it was pretty flat.
