  Piemonte (Barolo & Barbaresco) tasting (at my home): excellent nose
  Color: Deep garnet with some bricking at the rim.
  Aroma: Notes of red fruit (cherry, plum), dried flowers (rose, violet), licorice, spices (pepper, clove), leather, tar, and earth.
  Palate: Full-bodied, with firm but integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Flavors may include red fruit, dried fruit, spice, earth, and leather. The finish should be long and persistent.
  still at peak, alive and hedonistic!

  Wow. Hard to believe this was 25 years old. I would have guessed more like 2005 vintage. Silky smooth with medium dark fruits of cherry, rose and strawberry with some herbs and tar too. Medium finish and great mouthfeel. Great bottle and better than expected.

  Still very fresh for 24yrs. Red fruit that came forward quickly. No decant, just 10 mins or so swirling in a large Reidel sommelier glass. Very nice, much better than many of the older Barolo I own. Saved half for tmrw…

  Garnet color with brown hues. Subtle nose of roses and earth. Cherry flavors mid palate that persist on moderate length finish. Some tannins still present. Elegant and refined with still some life ahead. Thanks K & K for sharing.

  A touch less fresh than the 9/22/19 bottle.
