SLDS - PR GC: Blackberry, blueberry, cherry and tar. Rich smoky fruit profile on the palate. Sweet and savoury in a really nice way. More time left here, but no harm at all in approaching it now.

Aromatic and lifted nose, with florals and earth. Palate is mid-weighted and carries the flavours of the nose well. Tannins in good support, especially in the long finish. Attractive wine, drinking well right now.

Weekly tasting group #148; A mixed set of white and red wines. (@ DJ): Concentrated bouquet with black forest fruits, licorice, tea, coffee and some vanilla. On the palate currants, earth, autumn and chocolate. Almost reductive with soft acidity and completely melted tannin. Everything is in harmony in this mouth filling wine. And although it was probably even a little bit more interesting 1 or 2 years ago, it is still a great pleasure. I scored it 91 for tonight.

Mature, balanced, solid effort from a forward vintage that was much more favored in America than in Italy where the 1999 and 2001 vintages were preferred. This was a magnum. Very flavorful with a long finish. Delightful.

Really great Barolo. Cherry, leather notes. Not decanted. Didn't take long to open up over a great New Year's Eve dinner.
