Wanted to see if last tasting was an anomaly, and indeed - it was. This bottle was much better. I do think that it is a rather fruity and forward type of wine, but it is well made and the character of the grapes isnt completely lost as last bottle did imply. Improved with air considerably. Drink or hold, still rather fresh!

Naah, that was just so cooked and incoherent in terms of acid, body and tannin. No detail, just brute force. 89 is the techical score, enjoyment lower. Drink now, or hold as experiment.

Very tight after opening. An hour later, notes of cooked fruit and cherry. Dry and as it opens the tannins relax giving a velvety mouth feel. Long finish. Not sure I will wait 10 years for the second one. Enjoy!

Really nice Barolo in perfect shape. Fresh and the 13 years of age , was not noteable.

Cherry - licorice - sweet spice - evolved in the glass - very tannic but nice
