A nice lightly aged barolo. Nothing special but nice combination of red fruit and earthy tones. I am slightly concerned about the previous storage of these bottles as this is the second bottle of this that has had a very dry cork and pulled through in the middle. required a few extra steps to ensure no one was drinking cork

1 of 4 bottles that I have. Cork was soaked halfway but broke and pulled through in the middle which had me a bit nervous. Was able to extract most of the cork and filtered out rest while pouring into decanter. Wine was in perfect shape and definitely needed an hour in the decanter. Lots of red fruit and a pleasant earthy finish. Great color with no bricking. Excellent value at sub $50 and should hold on well for 5+ years

Decanted for half an hour. Great viscosity. Leather, earth, rosebotlles, roses. Whatever, still a great performance for this entry level wine of Boroli. Chapeaux.
