  Extremely evolved but much of the "old funk" blew off after 30 mins. Nose of dried leather, earth, prune and mocha. A bit thin and tinged with oxidation but inserting and pleasing with prune, dates, faded black & blueberry and mocha. drying tannins - still not completely integrated. This is more hedonistic than elegant but great fun to drink.

  Extremely evolved and most definitely on the decline but still delicious and layered with earthy and evolved fruit, forest, mushroom, etc.

  Pale light cherry brick centre, orange brick rim. Muted on nose, just faint hints of strawberries and cherries, some earth tar. Light tasting, still with some acidity but little dry tannins. Seems a little washed out with not much structure or flavour. Either this is a) end of life b) just not very good or c) tainted - under any scenario, not good enough for my osso buco, so dumped this and opened a 2001 Faset which seemed a darn sight better...
  So much for the wine spectator "100 point" vintage.....

  light and thin color, fruity nose, very smooth and elegant but lacks the backbone to fill it out. Long and fruity but very light finish. Beyond its prime.

  Possibly I waited too long to open this. but it was a disappointment. Upon opening (and for an hour afterwards), the color, bouquet and finish were thin, muted and "metallic." After two hours, a reasonable level of complexity emerged - tobacco and dried dark fruits most predominant. Good wine, definitely not great and a definite under-performer for the overall quality of the vintage. SImply cannot recommend this maker in the future given that other (even mediocre) Barolos from this vintage are still going quite strong
