  Purchased a half case over 10 years ago. No decant. Plenty of bricking, this was immediately aromatic after pulling the cork with roses, anise, violet, alcohol, pine tar, and crushed blue fruits. On the palate the time in bottle has definitely tamed the tannins. On the attack there is an energetic lift of acidity, but no so bright as to wash out the iron, anise, blue fruits (oddly), and dried herbs. In the mid palate there is a smoked cherry wood that walks toward the finish, where a tobacco leaf lingers for 45+ seconds. A likable aged Nebbiolo that was not overextracted, and draws out a good middle aged drinking experience. Pull a cork now through 2030.
  
  After posting my note I went back to review other CT reviews. Tim Heaton’s March 2015 note sums think up pretty well. Pop the cork and drink this.

  Aged very well, no funk. Great nose but had a heavy taste of anise/licorice which is not my favorite. Opened up a bit more over time.

  disappointed with this one.
  showing significant age with browning color. nose is solid oak. palate is dominated by oak. made my olive oil and rosemary flank steak taste like oak.
  couldn't drink it and opened another wine.
  maybe should have drunk while the fruit was more lively and before i developed this aversion to strong oak.
  i am even reluctant to cook with it. bummer

  Nice barolo but in a style that is not your typical traditional barolo. Had good flavor and complexity but not sure that I would buy it again. Nose was a little strange, but good finish and mouthfeel. Just don't think it was worth $50.
