Friday, January 31, 2020 - '96 Barolo and Barbaresco at Maialino: Double decanted a couple hours before dinner and drunk over several hours.

Roses, balsam, tar, and spice on the nose. Beautiful Serralunga nose. On the palate, this is firmer than the Vlllero, with more depth, gravitas and structure. There is depth, breadth and sap to the fruit, with density without heaviness. Power delivered with grace. It has terrific balance, inner perfume, and a sense of effortlessness to its full bodied frame. A more savory and deeper wine than the Villero, and drinking at quite early peak. I suspect it will be drinking better in 5-10 and rink really well for a long time thereafter. 95+
