Maybe should have slowly decanted, since this was throwing off lots of sediment. Deep red to reddish brown/orange on the edges. On the nose, loads of iodine and medicinal herbs (leaning in the direction of Fernet, maybe a touch of rose and blackberry. Still showing juicy acidity, with a touch of sour cherry, but loads of damp earth and bitters on the palate. Still loads of finely grained tannin on the drying finish. If this bottle is representative, then drink up.

My month-long streak of bad luck with Barolo continues. Medium tawny color. Fairly muted nose of iodine, band aid, and maybe some lifted red fruit. Palate showing some tannin and plenty of acid, but very little fruit and a short, drying finish. Something stole the fruit and replaced it with sink-worthy yuck.

A sniffer wine. Classic pharmacy, iodine notes, some tar and rose as well. Fruity and floral in both nose and taste and tanins where not profound. Good balanced medium body and medium finish - drinking well now. Light pale colour.
