  Cappellano dinner at Jade.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, garnet colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of mushroom tertiary earth, red cherries. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, soft high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of mushroomy tertiary earth, red cherries, savoury sous bois. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Lovely tertiary notes. Not as much stuffing as some of the other ripe vintage Cappellano on the night, but has the ethereal feels I remember fondly about Cappellano. Drinking in the zone.

  Palate: rounded cherry leather, a mild streak of sour cherry acidity that provides balance and focus to the fruit leather. Typical old school Cappellano overtones of gunsmoke and tar. Wine felt a bit older with somebrown leather tones. Still a 94+, but I did hope for more.

  White Truffles & Nebbiolo: So concentrated yet silky smooth with layers of res fruit, smoke, tar and florals. As classic as it gets.

  Nebbiolos, white truffles, Volume V (Chicago, IL): Classic Cappellano. There are a few earthy/dirty elements on the nose and palate, but they seem to complement rather than muddy the fruit. Medium to light-bodied for a Barolo, this is showing some signs of maturity. The fruit is ample and sweet, and gives this wine a juicy quality that is quite enjoyable.
