A bit thin and tough on opening. Barolo is often a will-of-the-wisp for me, changing as it stays open. So instead of ethereal, I often taste thin and slightly acidic. This one started that way but changed over several days (kept under N2), sometimes more compelling and elegant, sometimes less. In any case, it never really grabbed me. Looking over my notes, it's clear that the non-Barolo nebbiolos have been on average better (by my lights) than the Barolos. Just what that is, I'm not quite sure.

Grand Vin - Poderi Aldo Conterno Masterclass (Aura @ National Gallery): Pale garnet. A clear bouquet of roses, grass, and garden soils, somewhat herbal and mushrooms. High tannins, with somewhat high acids whereby the mouthwatering feel only comes about at the back with a slight mint coolness. Flavours of raspberry, twigs, roses, and even somewhat briny. Definitely needs more years

Direkt vor dem Probieren geöffnet und belüftet. - Farbe: Schwarzrot. Konzentriert. Leichte Schlieren am Glas. - Geruch: Mittlere Intensität. Verhaltene Kirsche. Etwas Ton/Erde. - Geschmack: Samtig. Holz. Kräftige Tannine, noch nicht integriert. Trotzdem gut trinkbar. Verhaltene Kirsche/rote Frucht. Gewürze. - Mittlerer bis langer Nachhall. Toller Wein. Allerdings für den Preis gibt es bessere Alternativen.

Veldig god nebbiolo. Balansert og fin lengde. God til grillmat og salater.

At bounty hunter WC, nice fruit, very dry as Barolo is. Drinking on the young side. I see the promise. Hold.
