Community Tasting Note

  May 6, 2019 - Literally a perfect example of what Barolo should be. Very little fruit notes, light leather and mineral. Drink within 3 hours of opening.

  Thanks for the encouraging note!

As this aged that goes away to the natural tanins that give it a nice strength and balanced body. From what I recall of this bottle opened in 2019, it was perfect, 20 minutes after opening, and faded to lose the full bodied and full flavor at 3 hours. It was still great just much smoother and less complex. I believe to drink at 20 minutes and finish by three hours.
  
  I bought another case, so I will open another soon and test out this 2010. I'll write another comment at that time.
