Love this. Birthday, Christmas, New Years' wine all rolled into one.
Initial nose was closed. Took an hour to smell that very classic Barolo fine cakes, roses, tars. I know it's trite to put this, but it's true. Palate had energy that made me sit back and marvel at how delicious this tasted. Perfection. I can't see how Nebbiolo can get much better. Balance. Beautiful round berries up front, mid of crunchy spice, finish of stars and incredible length. A full minute of enjoyment of evolution of mouthful fading away. Classic Barolo. Excellent Barolo. Last bottle.
This will easily cellar for years, but 2 hours of decant was fabulous.

Decent qpr for Barolo. Surprised no tasting notes. I think a Total Wine purchase? With 11 years age, drink up as I don’t think this has the structure to improve. Acid and tannins in check, hints of dried desert rose. Missing the dusty leather of better barolos. But still a good Nebbiolo experience
