Drinking really nice right now Grilled salmon and cesar. Nothing fancy and this CCR was full of earthy fruit. Still showing good tannins but very approachable and enjoyable

1 of 6 from original 2010 purchase. Temp controlled for last 11 years. Beautiful. Very smooth. Still plenty of structure to keep cellaring. But seems to be at perfect drinking stage. Big and plenty of depth.

Opened and paired with a prime cut of beef tenderloin. Very enjoyable. Wish I held this. Very reminiscent of traditional Barolo I’ve tasted from 70s & 80’s. That said, this 2007 was still very heavy on the tannins. If you have this, give 10 more years and you will have a glorious memorable bottle of Barol. The fruit is all there. Don’t rush this one.
