Barolo 2008 (My place): The nose is very nice but completely on tertiary notes of forest floor and mushrooms, whereas the palate shows a surprising freshness and still a lot of red fruit, though combined with tertiary notes too, all in a very smooth and silky package. Tannins are now completely integrated. Still lovely.

Opened in the morning, double decanted before dinner. Drunk with friends, no TN. Still young and with life ahead. When decanted it expressed a very powerful aromatics, and not yet completely tertiary - really stunning. In the glass was more reserved, but still very fine. Silky and enveloping on the palate, with now softened tannins, but with still some grip. Fantastic Barolo.
