WCC Barolo and Barbaresco Dinner (The Chef's Table at Cafe Capriccio, Albany, NY): [Double-decanted for 4 hours at 1pm.] Bright cherry nose with hints of something floral. Delicate, mature, complex. Long finish of cherries and mulch. Drinking well now.

Deep garnet with the slightest bricking. Red cherries, dried flowers, earth, tar on the nose. Medium bodied, with no tannin left. Red fruit, a bit of old-wine sourness. Pretty, but this bottle’s best years were a decade ago.

Fill almost up to neck with perfect cork conditions, that can be opened with normal corkscrew.
PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Root” day): Pale garnet to the eyes. Nice colours.
Very pure and nice cherry fruits here, with enough animale and floral / leafy notes but nothing dirty here.
On palate this is again very fine but still good volume of silky tannins. Very good length.
Just love the Barbarescos from this producer in the past, very accessible and nicely drinking indeed.
94 points.
18 hours upon opening with half bottle left uncorked and nightly rest in fridge (“No” day): Even cleaner than first day with fresher cherry notes, white spices and savoury notes, very highly mineral too. This is very enjoyable now!

Bottle in incredible conditions with fill up to neck level and perfect cork. PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass (Beginning of a "Flower" day): Pale garnet with still some ruby tints. Bright colours.
First pour for initial impression: Almost pungent sense of sous bois gushing out of the bottle upon every pour, this quickly gives way to savoury, animale and then also some straw-like notes and white spices.
High acidity, even higher level of minerality, and simply very "vivid" on palate in terms of flavours, with more mature red berry and cherry fruits. The tannins feels to me fully resolved (or more like, dissolved) in the wine by now which I simply rarely experienced in any red wine. Overall this inspires a great sense of harmony. Good length although not exactly profound on the finish.
For me this beats most old vintage Burgundy hands down with its structure, sheer level of details and finesse.
This is fully ready now and no regret opening the bottle. 94 points for me.
1 hour upon opening, 3rd pour: More and more darker cherry fruits as expected, and more smoky / charred herbs now too. More complete wine.
1.5 hour upon opening, 4th pour, about 3/4 left: More ethereal, detailed savoury spices on nose, and very nice ripe berry fruits.
2 hours upon opening, 5th pour, about 1/2 left: Still broadening spectrum of fruits to include some black plums and currants in a liqueur format. More menthol and mint too.
16 hours upon opening, with nightly rest in fridge without cork, about 1/3 left: Remains very robust both on nose and palate, more about red berry and cherry fruits indeed at this point. Enjoyable. Retain at 94 points.
