  When Barolo is really good, it is a wonderful and full experience. This bottle provides such an experience. Bright strawberry fruit with a bit of acid. Wonderful anise and spices. Long finish with even fruit and smooth tannins that complement a lot of foods. Beautiful wine. I may be underrating this one.

  Opened on 4/22/11 3 hours (not decanted) before first sip. Should have decanted as wine improved through the meal. Still plenty on tannins which I suspect will mellow with some further bottle age. Still a very enjoyable Barolo with a dark color in the glass, a beautiful nose and plenty of black fruits and hints of tar and black licorice that good Barolo is known for.

  Very nice and big Barolo -- very dry -- needed 3+ hours to decant to open up and not just be a bog ball of tannins. When it opened up it was a nice balance of the piedmont fruit (tart cherries with that dirt like taste) and great mouth feel. I think this isready to drink --do not hold too long on this one.

  Decanted for one hour. On the nose raisin, plum and fruit cake. The palate it was full bodied with ripe flavors of dark plum, coffee and a hint of leather. Slightly spicy on the finish with well integrated tannins. Drank very well.

  Was awfully tight. Poured off a half bottle, corked and put in fridge for 2-3 weeks. Was much better after that time. After this time still a little tight on the finish and has more to give. Nice deeper flavors on the finish with hints of tobacco and coffee. Should be quite pleasant with rich meat dishes.
