Wednesday, November 21, 2018 - Not a lauded year, but this was a great bottle.
6 hours slow ox.
Pale reddish terracotta.
On opening strong, intense tar and roses, confection on the nose, the palate intensely saline with soy and dashi, but otherwise relatively inexpressive.
At 6 hours the nose was wonderously complex and intensely perfumed, kaleidoscopic. Slightly sweet palate of complex, wonderfully mature Barolo with high acidity and plenty of tannin, youthful and fresh.
