Very nice, fully mature, modern Barolo. Took a minute in the decanter for a bit of funk to dissipate (very little sediment, btw). Nose is bright with sweet cherries, sage brush, leather, roses, iodine. Full, rich palate, nicely resolved tannins, medium weight on the mid-palate, with a short finish.

Modern style, quite approachable now. Nice stawberries, dusty soft tannins, earth, black tea, medium finish. I won't age this much longer, its drinking pretty well now.

Didn't find this came together well. Tannins weren't well integrated. bigger than preferred and lacked the earthy, forest, herbaceous qualities of a great Barolo. More astringent and tannic than pleasant. Fair at best and wonder if it will get better with age.

Strawberry, raspberry, tobacco. Very nice acidity and tannins have receded a bit. Paired with authentic Italian pizza. Very nice. Stored at 57 degrees since purchase. Cork about half way absorbed. Taste and appearance shows a few more years of life.

Very consistent with notes on Oct 2014. Noticed some brickish color at rim this time. My son is a chef and mixed up a great Italian dinner and the pairing was perfection. Acidity cut through the fat of the meatballs/sauce and left the palate wanting more of each
