This was interesting. Opened and drank with a short decant. Was wonderful with a mushroom pasta. Love the pairing. But was a little dried out the next day. I would drink now.

Fascinating wine, needs decanting with lots of sediment, medium to heavy body, rough tannins making the wine chewy, fruit shines with complex flavors, tartness, balance between tannins, acid and fruit, drank with tamales, nachos and guacamole, no more to be had, wine might develop more but I doubt it.

Aromatic, with nose and palate of refined black cherry. Structured and defined with a long finish. Clearly a tannic wine, but not dusty dry - tannins were nicely balanced by the acid, resulting in a kind of 'juicy tannin' effect, if that is a useful description. A lovely wine, probably a year or more away from its peak. Very enjoyable, and I'm pleased I found 3 bottles in a leftover rack at the Wine Library for $29 each.

Opened and poured through an aerator into a decanter. Tasted immediately and it was a bit closed. 30 minutes later it was pretty good. 45 minutes after it was opened it was really darned good. Who cares if it wasn't the highest end Barolo? Spicy Nebbiolo. Long, fairly complex finish. Consumed with an excellent chicken parmigiana dinner. Enjoyed it so well, I wish I had another bottle or two. Finished dinner and had such a great taste in my mouth that I took out a Waterford snifter and poured myself a glass of Fussigny Cognac. All in all a lovely evening.

Varietal, still tannic and youthful.
