Stunning bottle - better than last outing. 2 hour decant - sweet, structured, pure. Barolo nearing its best. Not as potent as the greats but really excellent stuff.

Just coming into its own. No rush to open another but developed nicely with a 2 hour decant. Sweet and full - classic nebbiolo. Nicely integrated tannins but they are still very potent and the acids are high. Time is definitely required to achieve 95 points yet it is still an excellent bottle today.

Still a baby with lots of potential. Not really open after forty five minutes of decanting. Nose of cherry, herbs, minerals, balsamic. Tannic, layered body like a coiled up spring. Reasonably balanced. Give it some more time in the cellar and it will deliver.

Oh jeez, still a baby.
Treated it with a 4 hours decant, nose was awesome. Bunch of red fruits, really singing. Probably the best Barolo nose I had.
Tannins are still insanely grippy. Everything still harmonize quite good, but I’d say have it with food.
I’ll wait 3 more years for my other bottles.
