Community Tasting Notes 5

August 19, 2017 - Appears to be entering its peak and is likely to stay there for several years. Opened up after 30-45 minutes of decanting, with classical notes of licorice. The 15% alcohol, however, bites a little; the wine tasted best at lower temps, below 65F.

August 19, 2016 - Largely similar to my 4/17 note but less pronounced and more subtle on the palate this time. Approachable (with decanting) already but should only improve from here.

April 17, 2016 - A delightful Barolo that has entered its drinking window and still has plenty of years ahead. Yummy upon opening, it continued to develop over several hours of decanting, with lots of licorice, prunes, and a long finish. Need to buy more.

January 23, 2013 - quick tasting @ l'Insieme Tour 2013: Extremely dense and concentrated wine, austere and dark, chocolate notes, very fine acidty, ripe and silky tannins, some sweetness to the fruit which seems on the verge of overripeness, some slightly bitter oak on the finish. Impressive for its concentration but not the finest fruit this year. Needs time. - 91 points
