  Texas Wine School Kings of Italy Class. This was decanted for an hour and a half, but it showed best after four hours. Medium garnet with some tawny hues and some rim variation. The nose is clean, developing (+) and earthy, with a fair amount of ripe berries, minty herbs and forest floor. The palate is nicely developed and is more appealing than the nose, with plenty of black fruit and sweet spice left. Medium (+) acidity and tannins; the alcohol is medium at 13.5%. Very well balanced, with medium (+) body and flavor intensity. The finish is long and delicious, with a pleasant, slightly bitter red licorice note. It is actually drinking better now than in April, or perhaps this bottle was a little fresher. It is solidly in its optimal drinking window, but it has several years of life left. This was one of the top 3 favorite wines of the class. WS 92 upon release.

  Texas Wine School Wines of Italy Class. This was decanted for an hour and a half, but it showed best after four hours. The nose is clean, developing (+) and very earthy, with tar and forest floor. The palate is nicely developed and is more appealing than the nose, with plenty of black fruit and sweet spices left. Medium (+) acidity and tannins. This is Barolo appears to fall slightly into the modernist camp, with the partial use of French oak barrels, although the alcohol is medium at 13.4%. It is solidly in its optimal drinking window, but it has several years of life left.
