  Onto this years Easter wines🥳🥳🥳😍😍😍
  
  This would have been clearly a 💯 pointer bottle, if the prior wine was such a clear step ahead, so this might remain the forever 99+ wine for me🤣
  
  My prior detailed tasting notes are spot on just the tannins are finally after 23 years fully melting!
  
  The wine has plenty of life ahead, would say now until 2035.
  
  99+

  Still a lovely barolo, but not at the intense level in 2017.

  no decant; 18c; bottle opened for a couple of hours; clean, coppered color; subtle nose of tobacco, raspberries; intense initial attack, rasping tannins over solid red fruit, giving minute-long, gripping finish (tannins softened nicely with some more hours); schist, iron water, raspberries, cherries, tobacco; a huge wine after so many years in the cellar, could hang in for another decade; 18.5

  It feels great when a wine delivers on a special evening with friends after patiently aging in your cellar for 15+ years. This is a fine aged Barolo of high caliber. Others provided good descriptors, so I'll just suggest that it's peaking now, relative to my other two bottles consumed in years past. A one hour decant proved sufficient.
