  Piedmont night: I knew the identity of this wine but would have thought modern if blinded because of the savoury, tarry notes. Decadent wine with rich, creamy dark fruit; usually not my preferred style but wasn't offended by this.

  Drank in restaurant, pre opened and decanted a couple of hours ahead. Lively nose of red cherry, rose and new leather. On the palate cherry, red currant, autumn leaves, fresh herbs, anise, licorice, leather and earth. Surprisingly young, lingering tannins yet to be integrated. Great balance, delicious, but would rather wait a few more years

  Really hitting the sweet spot and has time to evolve. No sharp edges, velvety, simply delicious!

  Light ruby color. Nose let’s out tons of cherries and roses/flowers. A lot of secondary notes - tar, wet leaves… great balance with fantastic acidity and chalky tannins. Tons of fruits - cherries, black currants - then pour pourri, tarry notes, tobacco leaves… the ending has nice oaky notes and it goes on and on for ages. A great Barolo - with further aging potential indeed!

  I prepped by pulling out fresh crackers and Sartori black pepper world champion Wisconsin cheese. I'm betting this is going to need food. A little lightening of the wine color at the disc. Picking up light rose water aromas. Classic road tar flavor. Grip and tear after. Mouth feel of grit, raspy tannins and uber drying finish. My bottle tag note says Wine Spectator 97. Sweet sixteen and not ready. Typical. Hold. Time for cheese. I'll score the next. - I've written over a thousand notes and I was just reviewing the scale description below. I can't recall how many descriptions which sound like average or worse and get a 90 when it sounds like it ought to be in the upper 70s. Or lower... My two cents.
