Community Tasting Notes 2

  August 30, 2015 - Decanted an hour or so. A maturing dark-brick-red colour: dark core, russet edges. An initially closed nose eventually opens to give signature Nebbiolo notes of black cherry, tar and aniseed overlaid with something floral. But this example is quite mature - tertiary aromas compete with the primary fruit. Not entirely appealing, at least not to me - and I wonder has this been corked. Nice on the palate: medium-bodied but with a display of secondary fruit flavours. Very dry. Tannins are resolved at this stage. Slightly hot on the finish. Some length but had hoped for more. Overall I would say this was probably only ever a solid, rather than stellar, Barolo which, to be fair to it, may have been slightly betrayed by its storage conditions over the years. Based on this showing, I'm not disappointed that I don't have any more bottles.

  April 19, 2009 - This looked like it was 10+ years old and through up a lot of sediment which was like tea leaves - bizarre for it's age. There was a little nose, which faded and the palate seemed to dry out and tighten up - could have been the age of the wine but the colour and sediment were not appropriate for a 6 year old Barolo, where they?
