  Last tasted this wine 18 months ago. When first opened the nose was appealing but it had very intense boozy/chemical taste Not good. Yesterday , again a lovely nose but too intense to enjoy drinking over the next few hours and for the rest of the evening . The next day was better but very dry finish. This wine is hard work

  What a vintage. Very intense. There is still a lot of fruit, acid and tannin in this wine, all well balanced. Drinking well now but still much tannin left. This wine can go many years more for those who like to age their Barolo. Stylistically a bit on the modern side, new oak has integrated well at this point. Very promising.

  Medium body, lively tannins and acidity, super dry. Lovely caramel color. Very complex smell and taste with a bit of honey, and tart red fruits.

  3/29/2019 - neilsforest Does not like this wine:

  Opened 3 bottles. First was flawed/undrinkable. Second was very dry and very little fruit left. Third had more fruit but after an hour in the decanter had very little nose or flavour of interest

  This wine immensely benefits from a couple hours of decanting. Open removing the cork, the wine had a terrible intensely bitter finish that resolved with air. I think the salami and cheese also helped a lot. After the decant, the wine became a very classic Barolo with elegance and intensity, leather, rose, cigar, oak, and red fruit. Widely enjoyed by my work colleagues who are not oenophiles. It had a decent amount of complexity as well. I feel like the wine was more modernist than traditionalist but I'm still trying to figure out how those characterizations manifest in the glass.
  
  I definitely think this will last longer than others in terms of drink date. As with the 2000 Damilano straight Barolo I had a month or so ago, the biggest concern is that both bottles showed a decent amount of seepage of the wine up the cork. That could be poor Italian corks or poor storage.
