Decanted around 2pm for dinner with Dan H tonight. Dark red fruit, beef, tar, and licorice in the subdued nose. Rich and thick in the mouth. There's a tarry menthol flavor in the mid-palate and long finish. Withholding a lot at this point. I will let it sit in the decanter for a while. After 2 days in the fridge with the cork stuck back in the bottle, the wine is richer with more tarry black fruit than the first night. Amazing for a supposedly weak vintage.

Slow-o'd this all day, then decanted about 90 minutes before dinner. Delicious, but never quite opened up over the course of the evening. Very good potential, but hold for now.

Burlotto Barolo Tasting + X (Freiheit Vinothek, Ulm, Germany): What a beauty and pleasure! Barolo at its full peak! Wonderful fruit, very deep and dense. Lots of extract, extremly fine tannin. Long finish. Such a pleasure! 95
