Well, hoping this was another learning experience. The wine showed significant age in the glass with about 1/4 inch rust at the rim but nice crimson color. Nose of iodine, blood, mushroom, tobacco, chocolate and the palate the same. At first I thought it was flawed but my wife didn’t. We didn’t decant but at 2 hours open in the bottle those nuances I considered a flaw went away and it was fantastic with dinner. Still good fruit, structure, integrated tannins and medium acidity. I’m going to try another just to see if my lack of experience caused my initial concerns. I will score 91 but that may be unfair.

This bottle has rounded into shape very nicely at 16 years of age. Einaudi is one of my favorite barollos and Cannubi is such a good clos. Classic!

Excuisite. Ready now. Still firm tannins, truffle, strawberry on the nose. Fresh and minty. Loving it.

Super Bowl 2016 (Dunwoody, GA): Very firm, still quite youthful, juicy red fruit, roses, cedar, tannin; solid, wait.

Very smooth after 2 hour decant. Harsh upon opening. Still has years in the bottle !
