  Very different from the earlier bottle. Nicely aging Barolo. Violets and berries and some vanillin. Flavours showing some berry fruit that still shows sweet berry flavours. Some black tea creeping in. Vanilla, tobacco and spices to a lesser degree. Still a bit shrill overall .... not mellow or smooth. But still nice to drink. Medium length to finish.

  Was hoping for more. Balsamics have moved in. Dried berry fruit, spices, black tea and tar. Not sweet fruited. Some bitterness. Medium length to finish.

  Decanted over an hour before consuming. Distinct browning to the red hue. Medium weight, strawberry and cherry, tar, not very complex. Quite tannic but not overbearing. The last glass was the best but I don't see this going up from here.

  Brick red / brownish hues. Nice acid with distinct tannins. Good, but not as memorable as some other Barolos I have had.

  93. Our last bottle. So glad we opened it. The cork was just about shot. Was great.
