Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 28, 2024 - This case of attractively priced Barolo ($30.00/bottle from Flatiron NYC) reinforced my experience with mid-tier Barolo -- they have an optimal drinking window one should adhere too. Let's say 7-8 years. Open too soon and experience a closed wine with overpowering organic notes and little fruit. Wait too long, and the tannins have subsided but so has the fruit. Open at the optimal time and one finds an open, balanced wine with complex notes of fruit and organics (leather, tobacco, cedar and so on). A long finish with tannins with alcohol and sugar in check. Unfortunately, one often discovers this optimal window by chance. Alas, I tend to drink Barolo too soon or too late.
