March 1, 2022 - Oustanding aged Barolo, no bottle variation in my bottle, all tasting notes below corroborate, time to drink now. The ideal decant seems to be 1-2 hours, and remember the serving temperature! If you leave it out at room temp while you decant or otherwise, it will warm up (too much)

In Burton Anderson's "Italian Wine" Paolo Cordero di Montezemolo tells Anderson to warm the wine in his glass (from a cellar barrel) in the flame of a candle because cellar temp is too cold. The unmatched aromatics of Barolo need warmth to come forth.
