Decanted for about an hour. Dark garnet, beginning to brick on the edges. Anise, leather and strawberry aromas, tight, but not shut down. Dense and textured mid-palate, impression of well-integrated oak. Long finish of anise and herbs, with heavy but ripe and polished tannins.
Overall a masculine, perhaps slightly modern feel. Plenty of structure and not at all dried out or tired, though I do wonder if the tannins will have outlasted the fruit the time complex tertiary development takes place. Is this just on a gradual slope, or will it blossom?

Very earthy. Decanted for 2 hours. Smooth tannins. Medium acidity. Medium body. Very good wine and perfect paring with a home made pizza. Lots of pleasure.

This was a Dolcheto Superiore, not a Barolo. But I think I waited too long to drink it as most of the fruit had disappeared. Disapointing

Decanted for 2 hrs. Much better than my previous bottle. Leather, cooked cherries, and tar. Good acids and smooth tannins.
