My bottle has been stored for at least the last ten years in a wine fridge. A fridge that resets to 45° every time the power goes out. So it’s likely been colder than cellar temperature for a while. So it seemed to be fresher than what some recent reviewers have experienced. After a two hour decant, it still has aroma, fruit, acid and tannin. The finish has some floral and tar notes. I’m glad I didn’t wait any longer.

Intense perfume, violet, fur trees and thyme. Medium bodied, dry herbal taste with floral undertones. Medium finish and should maybe have been drunk a year or two earlier.

Wasn’t sure if this one would still have much to give, still had fruit left but I would think I will need to drink my last 2 bottles in the near future.

Decanted for an hour, needed the air to open up. Strong, clean rasberries with a touch of rose petals on the nose, very nice. On the palate, the wine is quite elegant, with red currant and rasberry, strong tannins and good acidity. A young Barolo but drinking well now, very enjoyable!
