Bought new and properly stored since. Disappointing Barolo. Very astringent and lack of fruit. Decanted with Vinturi for 3 hours prior to tasting and still did not help.

Nose violets, cherries, licorice, chocolate, roasted hazelnuts all aromas well integrated and elegant. On the palate same aromas as in the nose, still good acidity, extremely elegant, fine. Finish long. I was impressed! The full complexity only developed on the 2nd day of tasting e.g. after 24 hours cold decanting in the fridge. Still huge potential.

Drank at Osteria Gaudente in Osaka approx 11/2012. Decanted for about 1 hour. Bouquet: dried red berry, cream cheese, leather, floral, light spice, herb--fennel. Flavor: dried red berry, raison, herb--fennel, leather with a long finish. Comment: Long cork was in great condition. In the past 2 years this wine is repeated mentioned by my friends who drank it as being one of the best they have had. Very aromatic and impressive.

Opened by Mark. Gunpowder nose. Notes of uptown funk and iron. Corked. 2nd disappointing bottle of this wine.

Opened by Mark. Brick red color. On the acidic side. More earthy than fruity. Notes of grapefruits and minerals. Thin finish. 85 points.
