92 Points

Saturday, April 11, 2015 - A surprise on the downside. I've rated this one much higher in the past, and this bottle, while nothing at all seems to be the matter with it, it just wasn't up to the power and richness that previous bottles have exhibited. It has no sense of being over the hill, or defective -- it just wasn't as vibrant as before. Had muted classic barolo nose with minerality and floral notes, but nothing much in the way of any tar. Palate was classic nebbiolo dark fruit with moderate acidity and moderate tannins drawing out the finish. Perhaps the magnum I'm harboring will show more of the previous incredible barolo qualities....
