  Lovely classic Barolo. Fragrant rose petal nose. Raspberry, sour cherry on the palate. Bit of balsamic and tar, adding that extra dimension to the fruit. Dusty tannins, juicy acidity, medium bodied. Ready with an hour or two of air. Delicious with pork chops.

  Just as good as last. Although, lost a bit on second day opened. However, still smooth and rich.

  First bottle unfortunately corked. Second bottle: Color is dark brownish and ageing notes are really clear. Needs 30-60 min or so to open up. In return you get strawberries in balsamico! Well integrated oaky vanilla touch together with classic rose perfume. Scents of both leather and tobacco, smoke, not to much. Taste offers sour cherries as usual with barolo together with tobacco and again balsamico. Tannins are silky and smooth, just perfect amount of ageing notes, and acidic is still there for freshness. Finish is really long and leaves a dry mouth. Good wine has become good+ with age. The more I taste this the higher grade I want to give bit will stop at 90. Hope the next 2 bottles is as good as this one!
