  Had this wine in a restaurant the other night for under 2 bills. Decanted at the table. I've been drinking Pio Cesare since the late 90s and have had many vintages back to the 60s and I always love it. Such a a great wine for the money!
  
  Really pure red fruits (strawberry, cherry,raspberry) some tar, flowers, and tea. Tannins are very smooth and the wealth of fruit makes it perfectly drinkable now but it's structure will allow for a fairly long life I believe. Not sure if it will shut down or not but it's drinking beautifully now so try it when you can.

  (100% Nebbiolo, Flagship-Barolo aus neun verschiedenen Lagen die sich auf 5 Dörfer verteilen. In der 2. Oktoberhälfte gelesen, 60 Tsd. Flaschen produziert, 14.5% Alkohol). Mittleres Granatrot. In der Nase floral geprägt, getrocknete Rosen, Veilchen, reife Kirschfrucht, auch etwas Pflaumen, Blutorangen, eine sehr gute Komplexität und vor allem die Offenheit in diesem noch jugendlichen Stadium begeistern. Im Gaumen rund, mit Schmelz und einer feinen, süssen Nebbiolofrucht, diese wird von gut verpackten, süssen Tanninen umhüllt, der Wein ist ausgewogen, bereits top zugänglich, zeigt im Abgang eine sehr gute Länge mit Kirschen und wiederum floralen Aromen im Retrofinale. Ab sofort trinkbar mit Reserven bis 2038

  This consists of the main Crus from his vineyards. And as a blend, it is the most difficult wine for him to make. Everything else was so good at the tasting, this is just coming in just a touch flat, but that is probably just the field.

  Prince - Barolo 2019 (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): New oak, sweet spice, cream, sour plum. Medium plus intensity acidity, plentiful woody tannins, it's a little clumsy. Meh

  Slightly pale and translucent ruby. Light, a bit thin, and dry. Redeemed by juiciness on the finish. but overall a bit meh.
