  Dense, somewhat overwrought. Did not decant. This had moderate fruit, noticeable oak, chocolate, but a little heavy on the palate.

  On the maturer side. Deep and intense dark cherry on the nose; on the palate initially a bit muted, gaining in energy with time decanted. Low tannins but bitter cherry pips quite in the forefront. Medium+ length. Second day more of leather, cedar and strawberry has developed on the nose; a bit elusive on the palate, though lingering heat. Overall a good but not great showing.

  Mursteinsrød fargesterk, lett orange i kantene.
  
  Lukt: Mørke bær. Godt modne. Litt alderspreg.
  
  Smaksrik. Mørke bær, men ikke veldig fruktig.
  
  En god del tanniner som sitter igjen i kinnene.
  
  En god vin, på ingen måte sliten.

  Decanted for over four hours. Medium to dark garnet. Lovely nose of peach pit, amaretto, dark cherry and roses, showing some age (dried leaves). Dry, medium-bodied, with high (but balanced) acidity and unresolved, slightly astringent tannins. While the palate is elegant, it does not quite live up to the nose, and seems a bit thin on fruit. Also, the wine is showing a bit of age for a relatively young Barolo. Overall, I find this is enjoyable now. While the wine should continue to drink well for many years, I am not convinced it will improve much.

  super performance, still early and so the structure is very present (both acidity and tannin in quantity), nonetheless this had really nice red fruit, black licorice and spice... great QPR at the $40 price I paid... would love to see what this bottle would be like in 15 years or so
