Spring 2020 Memorial (Golf, Illinois): WOTN by a wide margin, and in a perfect drinking window with still-active and impressive tannins lending a nice backbone and sophistication to the wine. The flavor profile fits perfectly with the structure, offering pleasing cherry, strawberry and tar notes. More cherries on the nose. Terlo Vineyard is fairly priced but it would be a mistake to consider it entry-level barolo. GJB always liked the idea of drinking the "wine of kings."

Tuesday Night Double Blind $40+ (Alpharetta, GA): Pretty dark crimson core with orange rim; beautiful nose, mint, cedar, roses, cherry, very slight cinnamon; savory, classic Barolo, sappy mid, pleasant grip; delicious, should have called this, really improved since last tasting note.

Strong nose with very dark chocolate, dried raspberries, herbaceous liquorice, wet dirt and animality. Smells of tannins. Full-bodied, very dry wine with rather short taste. Fruit is quite thin with some juicy dirt. Structure stays but flavour disappears. At the moment fruit doesn't last for long.

Classic, young nebbiolo color; sweet rose, sandalwood, lots of cherry, burnt orange peel, good acid, substantial and tannic, medium finish, blowing Barolo, much more masculine form of Terlo than I'm use to.
