logos Likes this wine: 60 points

January 2, 2019 - light all around for a barolo: nose, palate, aftertaste; simple but quite pleasant plummy fruit, short, clean finish. could well improve for a few years.

When posting scores in CT you should use that rating scale so as not to create a negative bias in the CT score when you actually find a wine quite drinkable. CT is a community whose collective opinions (the CT ratings) have become internationally accepted as a bona fide rating. Your notes are excellent so it would be nice to have your scores counted accurately therein. Thanks.
