  @ L'IL robs
  
  
  Oxblood in color.
  Meaty nose, salty blood, leather, gunpowder
  Thick, viscous, sangre, unctuous, a little sweet.
  Drink this now. We are getting close to the end. No complaints with this Magnum. Magnums are better.

  Aromas of tar, liquorice and wood. Tannic and rustique on the palate with sweet fruit. Powerful, but not definitely not very delicate.

  somewhat different experience to my last bottle. Dark colour, vibrant nose of dark cherry and some fading oak. Definitely a modern Barolo palate-wise, sweet black cherries with licorice and some oak influence, but the latter well integrated and not intrusive. This is a sexy crowd-pleasing wine but I think needs to be drunk in the next couple of years.
