  Really pretty Barolo in a hot vintage. Density rules here in this bottling. Ripe and ready to drink. On the darker side of the red fruit spectrum without being over ripe. Showed nicely. Some complexity absent, but it is mostly there. Drink or hold the next few years.

  Note: I use a scale on which 85 represents a very good wine.
  
  A little bit better than last year. One point okay, so what? This bottle seemed to benefit from breathing and decanting. The fruit sort of peeked out eventually. Not all that tannic-y and not as dry as the last bottle. I have a half bottle lin the fridge. We will see what that is like in a day or so.

  A but from memory -- a good, but not great Barolo. Reasonably well-balanced, but w/o any pronounced fruit, i.e., a little try and tannic, not unpleasantly so, but I hoped for more. Not dead by any means -- and better after a while, 30-60 min, in decanter.

  Dark red. Last wine of the night. Rich dark fruit nose. Dry and tannic. Very good.
