Decanted about an hour, flavora a little muted still. By end of dinner, 2 1/2hrs, it had opened a little more but I suspect there is still more going on with more time.

My 2nd of 6, but tasting group's 3rd of 6 in 2010 Barolo/Barbaresco tasting. Extremely well balanced and smooth front to back. Fruit really hit the right notes in the middle. Decanted 3.5 hours, and tannins pretty easy going even for a youngster.

Agree with others, this needs a long decant. Opened and decanted at noon for 7pm dinner and it was just getting to where it needed to be. Nice wine. Still a little upside. Maybe even better in 2 years.

I decanted it for almost 4 hours with not major improvement. Garnet color. Cherry aromas with subtle floral bouquet. Light/medium body. Tannins semi integrated. Medium finish. Approachable Barolo at its age. Remaining wine went back to the bottle.
