Opened and decanted. Served over three hours. It took 30-60 min for it to open. It was ok, but never really reached the point of enjoyment I had expected. Just tired and at its limit.

Still wonderful. Decanted for 2 hours. Initial bouquet was reminiscent of horse tack with hints of raisins, but these slowly disappeared. At 2 hours it had a shockingly pungent black pepper finish. After 3 hours, mushroom and leather notes predominate, with prehaps a faint note of dark chocolate in the aftertaste. Bought at the hart Davis Hart auction of Del Posto's wines in july if 2020. I think this could keep for a few more years. I wish i had a couple more.

Bottle in excellent condition, as was the wine! Decanted an hour or so, and the nose developed into a serious aged barolo - still some fruit, but also mushroom, forest floor, tobacco, leather. Tannins still present, in balance with the acidity.
A really lovely wine.

Decanted and served. This has survived well. Some raisiny fruit left and surprisingly firm tannins with mature acid and Madeira note.

Rather alive. Earth, mushroom and coffee but still some fruit. All in balance still, no shrill acidity. Interesting stuff.
