First of 8 bottles. Brought up from cellar cold and decanted. It took about two hours to open up. This wine still has a firm tannin structure holding it nicely together. As it warmed up, the expansive aromatics emerged showing everything expected from a Barolo: plum, spice, rose, tar, iron. Kept improving in bottle until it was gone. Will drink over next 5-8 years

Still drinking very well though I would shorten its drinking window a little.
Has peaked already. Nicely balanced with very good typicity.
