Slow-oxed for 10 hours. One of those barolos that stop you in your tracks with their perfect balance and elegance. Nothing out of place. Not the richest but so precise. Wow.

Brief notes, from memory. Fresh black fruits bancef by a tannic spine and medium acid, settled with 15+ years of age. Delicious with grilled ribeye and Spanish sausages.
I know it’s a cliché, but this for me was “Burgundian”.

2006-2008 Barolo and Barbaresco (Bologna): Served double blind. Garnet and cloudy in the glass. Nose is too dusty and mouth very oxidize. It would have been a very interesting comparison with the 2008 Monprivato.

Garnet in color, with nose of dried flowers, cherries. Palate is amazing, with great acidity, chalky tannins. Palate is amazing, medium acidity and chalky tannins after 4 hours decant. Cherries, violets, tar, dried flowers; long finish with oaky notes. An incredible wine that is still young but so incredibly enjoyable. A stunner. Drink now with a lot of air or wait 5-6 years. Excellent.

A stunner, deep and powerful but mid weight hiding its heft. Plenty of tannins but showing youthful fruit. So floral. What we’re here for. No crime to drink now but better in 5+ years.
