  So, this is the SECOND 3L I will be drinking solo this year, (the last of my 3L bottles)
  
  I drank the first half last night (two bottles equivalent)
  
  Wine was a translucent, aged looking ox-blood in color.
  Nose was floral, with hints of iodine and remnants of red berries. Some leather notes as well.
  
  Wine was quite thin, but extremely elegant. The wine paired perfectly with Italian takeout. Classic aged Barolo traits. If this was not a 3L bottle, I'm pretty sure the wine would have expired.
  
  Will finish the bottle today and post notes here.

  Here we go....
  
  The wine has rapidly oxidized.
  It's now a ruddy, opaque, thick ox-blood colored wine
  Nose is very faint now. Some leather notes. Most of the pretty notes of yesterday are now gone.
  Wine has lost yesterday's profile. Salinity, sagre, and some leather notes dominate.
  
  Yesterday's showing was better than today's. Still a fun project.
  
  Had a an amazing Scratch prime rib dinner tonight. Britt was instrumental in helping with the sides.

  Took nearly four hours post decant for flavors to balance, harsh acidity to recede, and wine to be truly enjoyable.

  Nice but not quite great. Still, merely decent Barolo is delicious.

  Decanted from a magnum, the colour is of a dark blood red. The nose reveals aromas of forest leaves, truffle, leather and fur. The taste in mouth is surprisingly much older than 2000 as if the wine had matured faster, developing a gamy touch while the fruits are quite discrete.
