Incredible from the first whiff -- but got more and more expressive in the glass. I suggest a lengthy decant. This is a special wine, destined to be one of the truly great barolos.

Fida Sandrone lunch/ Barb Sandrone (Ci Siamo): Much bigger and darker and somehow just a bit more brawny than the 2016 that it was served alongside. It's a really lovely wine though and clearly a barolo but the clone is different than most and it does seem to yield an interesting wine. This is another one built to last for the ages. Really great.

KYD #2.1: This is an absolutely crazy wine to drink at this age. Dark plum fruit with lots of medicinal complexity and dried herbs. The tannins are off the chart and it is almost painful to drink but it helps a lot with food! Absolutely amazing and stunning wine that will keep for an extremely long time!

Rich, intense and concentrated aromas with dark sexy roses, dark red fruit, against ripe orange peel, graphite, earth cellar, dark balsamic, purple flower, and really deep salt minerals that teases a lot. Good full-bodied wine that oozes being refined with fruit that takes your breath away. The power is great where the delicious darker fruit, tobacco, leather, anise, balsamic, herb and a deep layer of salt impress. Long complex finish with excellent acidity and long firm, and clear tannin structure, but in a powerful and excellent way. A powerhouse of Wine that brutally shines through the 2014 vintage.
