  Decanted and cooled it down to around 60. Bright and punchy acidity and red fruit, especially on the nose and initial attack. Then spicy pie cherry and assertive fine-grained tannin. The finish was medium. While engaging, the wine seemed a little uncertain. Pleasant and a lovely way to enjoy the evening.
  Revelation - by mistake I left wine in the decanter overnight. Dramatic change and much for the better - elegant, even ethereal. Lighter red fruit, restrained acidity. Burgundian and beautiful. Let that be a lesson to me for the remaining bottles.

  A Volnay of a Barolo. Elegant, floral nose and notes of forest floor, cherry, mint, and a hint of juniper. A silky mouthfeel and a long finish. It went very well with my non traditional Easter dinner of Japanese wagyu with shiitakes, ufer biber sesame , and ginger. I also had a rack of pork cooked on the big green egg. A lovely dinner

  Disjointed and really disappointing. Could be a flawed bottle. Hope so, cause I have another 5.............

  This was decanted immediately before drinking and served rather cool in Zalto burgundy glasses. It had a slightly dirty organic smell which didn't seem like a fault, indeed it was rather exciting, like well-hung game. Quite open in the mouth. Easy to drink now but gives the impression that it will keep for decades.

  Nose: The nose is pretty and perfumed that favors the upper register with red cherries, strawberries, rose petals, crushed rocks, juniper berries, and savory herbal notes. There is a purity and elegance that is immensely enticing and all together attractive.
  
  Taste: The feel is medium bodied with tart, high acidity and youthful, yet silky tannins. The feel is well balanced and poised with red cherries, strawberries, crushed rocks, rose petals, savory herbal tones and potpourri on the finish.
  
  Overall: This Is a beautiful Barolo that is beginning in its window. While I would imagine that the Cannubi and Monvigliero are wound too tight, this however is in a very giving spot. This is much more on the primary side at the moment, but all of those aspects have come into balance. This can still go longer, but it is open for business with two hours of air.
