  Quick note. Popped cork. Sat open in bottle for 1 hour. Then decanted and consumed over 3 hours. Continuously improved with air. Aromas/flavor of gorgeous red fruits and licorice. Still fresh. Moderate mouth gripping tannins on finish.

  Barolo Dinner with Kerin O'Keefe (Maialino, NYC): Up my alley. Translucent ruby. Textbook feminine Piedmont nose of tar, flowers, and red cherries. Ripe, bright, and generous in the mouth; structure present but unobtrusive. An attention-grabber that still paired well with the food. At peak.

  Nicely aged Barolo with black spics, dried flower petals and black mushy cherries. Drinking nobly and showing the age that it is at. Not gonna get any better so drink now.

  William's Bachelor's Party (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): Very nice - this was a fitting ending to a great night. In fact, I think it may have been disadvantaged coming at the end of many bottles of great wine - it may have done even better in a slightly less crowded line-up and with fresher palates to appreciate it. Still though, there was a lot to like here. In contrast with the Ceretto on the same flight, this really showed that you could have modern leanings and still show a lot of soul. It had a really expressive nose to start with, very big, with bold black cherry aromas, smoky spice, flowers, earth and mineral. The palate was very full, very complete, with mouthfilling flavours of black cherries and dark berries showing both a nice ripe sappiness as well as a lovely clarity. I also really liked the balance on the wine, with its bright acidity and firm but fine tannins. This came across so youthfully that it was hard to pick it as being any older than the 1999 Ceretto - it certainly still has structure aplenty for further aging. In fact, the finish was still a little tight, pulling away with bits of spice and mineral riding on firm tannins. It lacked a bit of charm right there I thought, but that aside, this was very nice indeed. The bottle we had seemed in really good condition and, on that evidence, I would have gladly held the bottle for another decade for the wine to soften and develop more. In fact, it would have benefitted from just being opened for a longer time before serving. Good stuff though.
