  This bottle was a bit past its prime but still offered a smile. The fruit is just a faint echo of cherries but the strong coffee and leather exude in the after taste. The tannins are dusty at this point. It paired well with my salmon, but drink up if you have any in the cellar.

  Dobbeltdekantert på dagen og servert på kvelden. En nydelig og typeriktig nese. Nyper, lakris, sopp, tjære, roser og mandler. Delikat og moden frukt på smak med finkornede tanniner, lang utgang. Bra struktur her enda og bra dybde. En sammensatt og begynnende moden Barolo. Virker mer lovende enn f.eks 2004. (93+)

  Brick red color with red cherry, pomegranate, bay leaf and leather notes, very little sediment and dusty tannins. After a four hour decant, put on weight, colored darkened and dark cherry, licorice, rosemary and white pepper flavors evolved. Really a great wine the benefited from a long decant. Wine has the stuffing to continue to drink over the next 10-12 years.
