Community Tasting Notes 3

  February 19, 2017 - I agree with the assessment that it can age for many more years despite some bricking. However, it probably will not improve the score with age. Left a little in a glass (uncovered) and the next day was still drinking fine. Restrained dark fruits. Minerality. Crushed limestone. Not very complex. And did not evolve with decanting and drinking over 4 hours. The little I left for the next day was drinking very close as it had the night before.

  October 31, 2015 - Slight bricking, otherwise light ruby in color. Secondary aromas developing on the nose; smoke, pinetree etc. Palate quite youthful, slightly harsh tannins that blew off after about 1 hr. Very enjoyable after a thorough decant, glad I have some left to drink over the years as I believe this is quite some way from its peak.

  February 15, 2012 - This is a juicy, generous Barolo (100 percent Nebbiolo) that currently comes across as more accessible than most of the other 2007 Barolos. (A special ‘Pinart’ selection, only 300 bottles produced). Decanted: one hour prior to tasting. The wine was aged for 24 months in both barriques and 5 hectoliter barrels. Beautiful red-violet in color with expressive aromas of dark cherries, plum, tar and a sweet touch of licorice. Made in a fruit-driven style, this wine offers layers of ripe red and black fruit, a remarkable harmony and already well-integrated tannins. Long, elegant finish. It is superbly drinking now, but can certainly be enjoyed until 2016.
  
  Een gulle, sappige Barolo-wijn (100 percent Nebbiolo), die zich momenteel al veel toegankelijker presenteert dan de meeste andere Barolos uit 2007. (Een speciale ' Pinart' selectie, er werden slechts 300 flessen geproduceerd). Gedecanteerd: één uur voor consumptie. Rijping: 24 maanden in barriques en in vaten van 5 hectoliter. Mooi rood-violet van kleur en met expressieve aroma's van zwarte kersen, pruimen, teer en een fijne zweem van zoethout. Een uitermate fruitige wijn met pakken rijp rood en zwart fruit, bijzonder harmonieus en met al fraai geïntegreerde tannines. Lange, elegante afdronk. Nu al schitterend op dronk, maar gaat zeker nog mee tot in 2016.
