  Decanted; approximately 90 minutes of air. Detailed notes not taken. Impression is that this is drinking well now. Tannins are fine-grained and tamed. Beautiful balance of fruit, flowers, and tar. Have no doubt this will continue to improve for some time but don’t feel guilty for opening now.

  Great Vignolo at its 10th birthday.
  Bouquet of violets, umami, mushrooms, cherries, white pepper and some cedar.
  The palate is very demanding and the wine got better after a 2 hour decant. A mouthful of refined tannins, it’s all you want from a classic, old school Barolo which just barely starts to blossom.

  2 Hour Decant; needs more time and more years
  
  Big and dark, with smokey chocolate and dark black fruit; tight, taut and austere; a lot of stuffing; big structure. Very young and long finish. Needs a lot of time but lots of upside

  Accomasso Tasting plus some great Barolo Pirates (Freiheit Vinothek, Ulm, Germany): *** all wines tasted blind ***
  Glass: Zwiesel 1872 Moment Pinot
  Clean, deep ruby color. Clean, classic Barolo nose, very fine and elegant.
  Almost the same elegance as the first wine, a bit more flesh and power. Herbaceous, some green tomato notes, great pressure. Very young. Needs a lot of time. 93-94+

  The 2013 Vignolo has more backbone than the 2012. Good juice. Classical style with old oak. Good future.
