  Early Vday dinner at Burlamacco. Bottle gift from winery during our visit in 2013. Pop and poured. Drank slowly and re-explored again hours later. Drank in Conterno Sensory.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour with garnet edge. Legs.
  Nose initial tertiary mushrooms that blew off, then medium+ intensity, with aromas of dark licorice, floral tones, slight tar, balsamic, red cherries, red plums. Hint of soy and VA nail polish. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, good high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14.5%), strong high tannins that get smoother with air and food, full body. Medium+ flavour itnensity, with flavours of savoury earth with touch of soy, dark red plums, dark red cherries, sweet licorice, sweet tar, sweet spiced oak. Truffle with more air. Long spicy finish.
  Day 3: Savoury meat broth.
  Very good quality. Possibly as good as it gets at peak. Should hold at this good level for a few more years.

  il gran finale del Barolo di compleanno (Osteria Langhe, Chicago IL): The nose here is very perfumed and deep with strawberries, bright red cherries, dusty notes, licorice, spices, toasty notes, vanilla beans, crushed rocks, currants, pencil lead, and some tobacco leaf. This is wide open with the fruits showing more in the red spectrum compared to the 2003. The Full bodied feel has some weight and stature to it that doesn't show too large. The structure is resolving and has pulled back with crisp, high acidity and silky, high tannins. This is right at the beginning of its window. This isn't for die hard traditionalists, but it is a wonderful wine that I can easily appreciate.

  Ruby red, lighter rim. Decanted for 6 hours. Extremely complex on the nose with fresh fruit and some more mature elements. Mushroom, truffle, forest floor and tobacco / tar. Very elegant and concentrated. Beautiful balance, sweet fruit and fine grained tannins. Extremely long. In a perfect drinking window, some development. No rush. Impressive wine

  Served blind, old wine smell, blew off to reveal a classical Barolo nose, sweet palate, guessing mature Barolo, thought 90s, the last glass was quite divine
