  Decanted 2 hours in advance. Ruby. Heady aromas of tobacco and ripe red fruit. Medium weight, ripe fruit with a little orange peel plus the more savory elements. Unfortunately, it is marred by alcoholic heat and I just don't find the balance pleasing.

  Really singing now. A beautiful barolo in the classical style, light berries and now with secondary notes of fresh leather and mushroom. Gently gripping tannins and a very long aftertaste. Right at the spot now and probably at least 3 years on

  Poured into a decanter to serve. Nose exhibits tar, wild flowers, dried roses and cranberries. Palate is feminine and ethereal with moderate plus length. Not a blockbuster Barolo but certainly one Burgundy lover would enjoy. The leaner vintage helps.

  DAY 1
  Served with the Vinloq System
  👃Wonderful if slightly reticent. Deep, fresh, and perfumed
  👅Not fully open? After > 3 hours: elegant, floral, polished. Silky tannins. Lovely finish
  
  The remaining wine was "Slow Decanted" in my refrigerator
  Revisited the wine on two more occasions
  
  DAY 14
  Several hours in the glass.
  👃Red and purple fruits. Tar with light florals. Bright and
  chalky
  👅Significant fruit with tar, earth, licorice. Spicy raspberry/cranbery on the long finish. Drinking well
  
  Fratelli Brovia remains somewhat under the radar despite producing first tier traditionally styles barolos from excellent vineyards
  
  This Brea has the density expected of a Serralunga barolo coupled with the finesse, nuance, & drinkability that comes from excellent winemaking.
  -Pretty lightfooted for a hot vintage
  -Totally enjoyable after some time in the
  glass on all 3 occasions
