Friday, April 14, 2023 - Old Guys lunch on Ciao Bella's lovely patio (CV, DM, TS, JV, DD, LS, KB). 80 degrees Friday & 45 degrees Saturday :). We got super lucky Friday by MN standards. My btl and quite disappointing in its awkward current state. This was fricken beautiful 4yrs ago on release!?!? I decanted it 3hrs before leaving for Ciao Bella and removed the cork 45 mins again before drinking. From my Burg glass. Once again finding the right drinking window and ideal air for Barolo is as elusive as catching an old Brown Trout on dry fly. For me anyhow:). If I scored it now it would be 85-87pts. Rough ride on the structure & fairly closed.
