After an hour and one half in the decanter and another two hours this wine was very good but still tight. It had the typical Barolo characteristics in the nose and palette. On the 2nd day and little bit better, but on the 3rd day it was open for business. A generous nose and palette that was beautiful with those dark fruits and earthy tar. If you pop and pour this wine it won’t stand a chance. This bottle was in top condition. Three more left.

Disappointing because it lacked the classic Nebbiolo character, any sense of terroir, and strength of flavors. Not a bad wine but underperforming at the moment.

Advanced rusty color. Tasted older that it should as well. Aged fruit, mostly integrated tannins; tired, baked strawberry accented with wood flavors. Improves with air, but still comes through as an overall simple wine from a hot vintage, missing uplifting minty notes and structure.

strong petrol/tar bouquet upon opening, took 3-4 hours to dissipate and then was very nice drinking

Till kantarell risotto. Finstämt vin, mjuk för Barolo. Bra kombo, säkert fint till lamm. Undvik tuff sås.
