  An absolutely beautiful bottle of aged Barolo. Crushed berries, plums, anise, and a beautifully perfumed bouquet. Wonderfully fresh while still showing maturity. The tannins were still there, but well integrated.

  Private evening with friends: Glass: Zalto Bordeaux
  Perfect bottle (fill level, cork). Clear, beautiful glowing ruby tawny color. Clean, medium+ intense herbaceous nose at its full peak. Rose petals, red fruit, menthol. Dense, complex and multi layered. On the palate also a wonderful experience: Acidity, tannin and alcohol are beautifully balanced. Very juicy and drink animating Barolo. Lots of red fruit, cooling menthol, herbs. Dense and long. This bottle was for me at its full peak, but no need to hurry at all. 93-94

  Nice wine, but I waited too long for this one.

  Piedmont and Champagne - Round 2 (MG): Chalky and mineralic nose. Slightly watery and light fruit with a touch of coffee and leather. Has a funky taste of salt-water also. Disappointing..
