  Bottle and cork were in perfect shape, low neck fill, 1/5 cork slight saturation. Slow decant for 1 hour. Garnet/browning rim. Acid was less than expected, some oxidized notes. Seemed past it's prime, but still pleasant enough. Other notes do not match this bottle.

  Blind, brick rim, Bordeaux nose yet high acid which took me to Italy. Barn yard, cinnamon, evolved berry notes. Ready to drink where it will remain for another decade.

  From a pristine bottle purchased on release, this wine had a deep red center and orange rims. It had dropped quite a bit of sediment. After 4+ hours of air, the medium intensity nose put forth cherries, roses, tan spices, and candle wax.
  
  This had some moments in the beginning where the wine was a bit tannic. However, after extended air it became more balanced and fruitier. It had rounded tannins, juicy fruit, and excellent length.
  
  This wine was "new wave" enough that it might be tough to pick out in a blind tasting as a Barolo. However, I think it wouldn't be to hard to guess it was Italian. If given 6+ hours in a decanter before consumption starts, this wine will show its high quality wine making. I would go so far as to suggest opening this at breakfast so it will be ready for dinner. Very impressive and may still have a point or two of upside.

  Tasting Group - White Truffle Dinner (Casa Aneff): Clearly more modern in style than the other Barolos served. This wine felt much younger than it is and was a tad sweet, which is to be expected from the ripeness of the vintage, but a bit sweeter than I’d like. There was some dark fruit and mocha on the palate. This bottle opened up a bit while in the glass, but it still has some tannins that should continue to soften over time. This could use more time in bottle.

  Very nice balanced Barolo. Complex composition of spices. Easy to drink. Showed no signs of being over aged.
