  It was worth keeping a few bottles around for this long, as it drinks beautifully now.

  I am a great lover of barolo, but this is a poor example; PnP, nose is still a bit unyielding, but the tones are pepper, gunpowder and leather. Bone dry, medium+ body, palate is dark berry fruit with medium+ acidity; tannins are starting to ingrate but this wine has a "harsh" quality to it that's not pleasant. Not a great example of a region that produces some outstanding wines!

  3rd time and 3rd year I try 16 of fontanafreddas base Barolo. Has improved a lot! Starting to get ready to drink. Nice salty cherry notes w Gun powder, cigar, eucalyptus and menthe. Moved from cellar a year ago and has been in RT since which may have speeded up tunnel time…
