Decanted 2 hours before drinking (it needed it). This was a very good Barolo. - Nose of dark fruit, tar and leather - On the palate the dark cherry fruit flavors continued as well as the leather notes. The acidity was good. The tannins relaxed with time in the decanter. It's not as profound or complex as top tier Barolos but it was very good and well worth drinking.

This was my least favorite bottle of the three that I have consumed this year. It may have been a slightly flawed bottle with some mustiness present. But it did have the typical notes of dried fruit, saddle leather, and cedar.

Tar, roses, some leather. Rich, structured. No hurry to drink the next one.

Drank July 2013; dry, dusty, fruity, Italy. This is aged barolo - what else can you say? Smooth finish.

Notes of dark fruits, crushed flowers and licorice. Very mature with a garnet color. Nice Barolo, but not exciting.
