Saturday night at home with Lisa and Lee over for risotto with seared scallops. Wine was disappointing - very little fruit - decanted for three hours before drinking - and still drinking three hours after that. Never really opened up - if it was "sleeping" - so conclude it's past it's prime. Last bottles in the cellar for me - a disappointing conclusion. Oh well.

Saturday night with Karl and Naida over for dinner. Opened after enjoying 3 different Italian white wines. Was good, but didn't show as well as previous bottles of this wine.

Opened two bottles - one brought to Lee and Lisa's as a welcome home - ended up staying for a while and opened and finished a bottle with Yansi and David - then came home to make dinner for Sam and Jess - and opended a bottle to enjoy with pasta. Wine drinking very well right now. No reason to cellar it much longer if at all.

Too dark, too extracted, too much oak. Backwards. Doesn't remind me of Barolo too much.

Tea and stock aromas. Oxidised!
