Not really disappointing but not excellent either. Nose was promising melange of strawberry and mushroom but palate was a bit more restrained than I would hope and didn’t really improve over the 90 minutes it was opened and drunk. But a pleasant food wine nonetheless

Softening tannins, but still showing some austerity on the mid with dried fruit and leather before the nice and lengthy smooth finish. with a nice and smooth finish (Probably best 2018-2023)

Tegelfärgade nyanser i färgen. God, komplex doft med rosor, röd frukt och tjära. Mogen, avrundad smak med avslipade tanniner och fin, balanserande syra. Röd mogen frukt, en del lakrits och bra längd. Ganska elegant och bör nog inte sparas längre. Kanske lite tunt? 89-90 p.

After an hour this opens up nicely. Complete, maturing Barolo with dark aromas of licorice with some red fruits. Good structure and perfect food wine.
On the second day (from recorked half-bottle, decanted an hour) the nose is more open and fragrant while it seems more reticent and tough in the mouth.

ESTG does Barolo at Marianna's (Renton, WA, USA): Bright, lifted, modern, rather easy.
