Last bottle, and drinking well after a short decant. Definitely on the more mature side, with more dried red fruits and savory flavors, e.g., balsamic. But, still fresh and vibrant. Maybe the best of my six bottles.

Meaty dark fruit bouquet. Very powerful, slightly young wine. Tart undertaste. Good fruit in mid-palate. Medium length aftertaste. Popped cork 4hours before initially tasting. The wine was a little tough. The next day it opened up and projected a rounder, softer profile. The only problem this wine is it should be drunk 5+ years from now.

Could've been bottle variation. Serious modern barolo on opening but it faded fast. A bit backwards. Unsure how itll age. The tannins really do need to soften but I dont know if they will. Growing report for the vintage said warm with uneven ripening and I think that may be in play. Likely shouldve waited another decade.

The first swallow was literally dirt. Earthy. Moderate body and light tannins. Delicious with spaghetti.
