  Rich, ripe, and tannic. The tar and roses take a back seat to the density and purity of the dark cherry fruit, and mineral-earth notes. There is a touch of age apparent on the nose, and the palate is developing, but the wine has not yet reached its apogee of development. Great depth and complexity with more to come. A class act.

  Oooh. Glorious. More ready (barely perceptibly) to drink than it was several years ago. Enjoyed it.

  Sweet red berries on the nose. Fully developed but no tertiary notes yet. The profound sweet continues on the palate. Tannins super gentle now, typically takes 15 years for Brovia single vineyards. There is a very impressive precision to this wine. I think a signature trait for Brovia. The sweetness stays with you a long time. Brovia is in the champions league in Piedmont.

  Delicious.
  Opened 5 hours before drinking.
  Tasted at opening:
  Lighter color, some bricking at the meniscus. Taste now is ever so slightly, but not quite burnt, touch of sour cherry.
  Later:
  It's not burnt, it's an older Barolo, and drinking beautifully. Light in body, rich in flavor, smooth, with a remarkable finish - tart, slightly sour, long long long. Cherry, tart plum, red currant; cinnamon,
  
  Rated +2 on a scale of -1 to +3.
