Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, September 22, 2020 - Stood up for > 1 month and decanted. Light-medium ruby with age-appropriate bricking; medium aromatics with red cherry, forest floor mulch; palate is light bodied, high but plush tannins, medium-plus acidity, balanced mature red fruit; medium length finish. Not quite as striking as my last bottle nearly 5 years ago, but a perfectly nice mature example of Barolo with character of Monforte (slightly burlier and textured). 91
With an hour of air: a bit of roses on the nose and palate comes out more. A lovely Barolo, though still not a show stopper. 91-92
Day 2: Tannins a bit more prominent, or maybe the fruit is a bit more reticent.
