February 12, 2024 - A lovely mature Barolo with no signs of decay, still retaining its fruits & body with panache!

January 7, 2024 - Fully mature showing oxidative, aged notes as expected. Tannins totally integrated, smooth body. Medium+ finish. Great acid. Double-decanted 5 hours prior to consumption.

January 7, 2024 - Corked and completely clapped out anyway. You could tell there was some interesting pickled walnut and cherry aromatics going on underneath, but sadly undrinkable. I am increasingly cross with the charlatans who sold this to me on the promise of greatness. Sure, you have to take old bottles as you find them but all so far opened have been well and truly past it.

September 19, 2023 - Ks’s bottle, opened for 2 hrs, still stinky & sour but blossomed at 3 hr mark, umami, soya, earth, still has acidity left, we were lucky tonight with the 71s - both were good

September 19, 2023 - Lkh’s bottle, upon opening dead, after 2 hours complete revelation, Umami smell, soya sauce, really needed 2 hours, good body, evolving nose, minty at end, we opened 2 bottles of the same tonight both good but really needed the 2 hours airtime
