Community Tasting Note

December 27, 2013 - I couldn't help but open another bottle of this beauty, which is exactly at a maturity level that I love, and likely to stay for a good few years. Red roses color starting to fade away just a bit, giving a beautiful transparency to it, the nose is sublime with the right presence of rose, red berries, autumnal leaves and wet earth which lift itself to a wet stone mineral touch. That is exactly what gave me the love for wine; when the nature seem to meet and mingle in the glass... and to add just a bit more charm it even displays the right amount of spice/pepper and on the palate the healthy tannin suggest that it will keep this good shape for a while. Medium body(I don't even understand how I could have loved the full body ones many years ago...) and uplifting just like a beautiful soprano voice, which hangs in your ears, the back taste lingers on and on... wow viva Barolo~~

Well, I kind of see what you mean and to be honest, I now prefer the basic Barolo to the Ornate or reserva. It seems less extracted more natural, at least to my palate and the 2004 is certainly getting better and better~ Cheers and happy new year!
