Still pretty astringent at 10 years out, though I think it has gained some body since I last tried this in 1/14. Happy that this seems to be trending in the right direction, as I remember being a little worried a couple years ago.

Based on the current «drink from 2010» I decanted this in the morning and drank 14 hrs later. I really shouldn't have. Oh, the power of CT. Granted, it showed promise, but ready to drink it is not. Please hold!

This is really a textbook Nebbiolo; tar, licorice, tobacco, roses and earth on the nose. There are lots of things going on here. Terrific smell! It is medium-bodied with pleasant tannins. Nice length and attack with a red-berry feeling. Very silky for being a Barolo.

Ripe, has not been stored in ideal conditions last 5 years, no flaw however, opaque, very typical Barolo nebbiolo flavours.
