  Bottle is off. Not sure why but really unbalanced

  The color is quite faded, but it doesn't taste as old as it looks. The first taste is like a shot of adrenaline, setting the nerves atingle. The wine mellows with air, but it never lost the core of chewy tannins and acidity. For all that, though, it has moved into a gentler phase, reassuring rather than challenging, with more richness and less fierceness. Drink soon.

  Very little bricking, red-purple hue. This could easily age another 5-10 years as it was better after several days. Balanced, perfumed and elegant barolo. A pleasure to drink on christmas day with brisket and two days later with dinner revisited!

  Decanted three hours. Dark garnet with some moderate bricking. Aromas of red fruit, coffee and spice come out of the glass. The palate feels like it has reached early maturity but there is still a decent amount of tannin such that it should be able to age at least five more years. Flavors of plum, black cherry, tar and spice come through into a satisfying finish. The wine has a modern feel with some touches of oak but the oak is pretty well integrated now and overall I was pleasantly surprised by this wine

  On opening this wine was completely discombobulated. After the first glass I closed it up and put it in the fridge. Next night it was much better, but showed more oak than I care for. Tertiary development appropriate for a Barolo at 20. But not a style I seek out these days.
