  Splash decanted then drank to accompany a beautiful USDA Tomahawk as the sun set on the terrace of the Castello Di Bellagio near Sattahip, Thailand. Translucent jewelled ruby colour with a very wide transparent meniscus. Nose is beautiful mid piano scale notes of the purest perfumed rosewater, strawberries from a woodland, then higher piano notes come in. All quite compelling but so different from the equally beguiling Rampolla 1998 we drank beforehand. Palate is immediate fresh acidic but perfectly balanced attack followed by high-toned slightly tart but perfectly poised Japanese strawberries. Gosh, all power without weight….. moderately resonant on the finish but very long and reverberant like a single quiet final piano note left hanging in silence before the audience can react. Is in its very early stage of maturity. Very memorable. 94 easy.

  Decanted for two hours. Early maturity and still will evolve for a number of years. Lovely nose of cherry, blackberry, tar and roses. The wine is medium to full bodied, elegant and poised, modern in style but the oak is well integrated, still showing fairly robust tannins. Overall a very good effort for the vintage.

  belle couleur, encore assez sombre, très beau nez, fumé, épicé, agrumes, floral, magnifique complexité aromatique, bouche sur le fruit, foin, magnifiques tannins, encore très présents, un tout grand vin qui a sans doute encore un très très bel avenir

  Friday Bangers 'n Mash Dinner (Our House, Hong Kong): Splash-decanted as an end-of-evening bottle we probably shouldn't have opened. No detailed notes and very little memory except that it was totally in the shadow of the 2005 R. Voerzio Brunate we had drank properly decanted at the beginning of the dinner. This is definitely a lesser wine even if we didn't afford it more respectful treatment.

  Barolo: (degustato alla cieca) parte muto, balsamico e basta per i primi 15 minuti, cenere, fiori. Acidità matura, il tannino arriva imperioso ma quasi al rallentatore. Imponente l'attacco aromatico tutto sul timo/rosmarino. Manca un po' di persistenza, manca qualcosa fermo restando che il vino è molto buono ma rispetto al rocche dell'annunziata è meno interessante.
