I know that this is the kindof wine that really does a lot better with additional air and yet somehow always forget that it should be one of the first wines decanted. This was starting to get a lot better towards the end.

This is your pretty standard older barolo and maybe even drinking a bit older than you might think although at the same time it was a pnp for us and these wines usually need some time in a decanter to come around. It's got a bit of the iron ore and slightly metallic and fruit a touch more faded and somewhat floral. Not very detailed notes as this was a big afternoon, but a solid wine.

Two years ago I said there was no rush to drink this bottle and I made a mistake. I was wrong. While still enjoyable, this has clearly seen its best day. Fruit is definitely more muted, tannins are totally resolved. Drink up.

Outstanding. Like drinking silk. Double decanted approx 90 minutes before dinner. Everyone loved it. Mature barolo like this is a joy to drink.
